Sam Hinkie admits he's made mistakes as general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers.

"I think our record speaks kindly to all that," he said. "But I think there are other things we could have handled differently."

Hinkie received a lot of criticism for not being available to the media during the Jahlil Okafor situation, leaving Brett Brown to be the spokesman.

The 76ers recently hired Jerry Colangelo to help the front office.

"He's had good counsel about team security, which I feel like we really had big strides on already, how to handle that differently," said Hinkie.

Hinkie says Colangelo has also helped with improving relationships with agents.

"Yeah, he's helped there, too," Hinkie said of Colangelo. "I think he's had lot of good advice and I had lots of questions there about ways in which we could do things better. And he's helped on that front already."
