Jordan Cohn has been named Pro Personnel Scout of the Philadelphia 76ers.

"We are committed to improving all facets of our basketball operations department and we are happy to announce the addition of Jordan Cohn to the Sixers," said Sixers General Manager Tony DiLeo. "Jordan is one of the most talented and respected scouts in the NBA and will be an invaluable resource for the upcoming season."

Cohn will enter his first season as a scout with the 76ers after spending the past eight seasons as a scout for the Nets, covering NBA, D-League and college games for the organization.

Prior to joining the Nets, Cohn served as the Director of Pro Player Personnel for the New York Knicks during the 2003-04 season. That came after a five-season stint with the Miami Heat where he worked closely with Pat Riley, the rest of the coaching staff and the front office, on various statistical projects.
