“He’s going to be in that unit with me,” Harden said. “We played together in Brooklyn, so we’re familiar. But the more we can kind of get in our sets and make sure we’re in the right spots … when me and him are in that pick-and-roll, we have our lob targets and we have our 3s.”
Rivers likes keeping Harden and Tobias Harris on the court with three reserves, one of whom should be Jordan.
Jordan played with Harden for a bit last season in Brooklyn, Harris as a Clipper and for Rivers with the Clippers, so he’s seeing some familiar faces in Philadelphia. At the morning shootaround, Jordan said he just wants to bring energy when he’s out on the floor.
