MINNEAPOLIS - Gerald Henderson was a leader at his previous two stops in the NBA. It comes as no surprise that he has assumed that role with the 76ers.
Coach Brett Brown cracks a little smile when talking about what Henderson brings to his youthful team.
"We are getting a heck of a year out of Gerald Henderson," Brown said. "He is a veteran. He's tough. There's a physicality he brings to that we need."
The former Episcopal Academy standout also has been an unofficial player-coach to his teammates. The eighth-year veteran is quick to coach his teammates on what to do in certain situations during the game.
