Sixers hire a female scout, Lindsey Harding

Two weeks ago, it was revealed that the Sixers were making a push to hire a qualified female scout. That has become reality.

On Friday, the Sixers confirmed an ESPN report that they have hired former Duke and WNBA star Lindsey Harding as a full-time scout for the coming season. Harding, according to ESPN, becomes only the second full-time female scout for an NBA team. The first was current Dallas Mavericks assistant Jenny Boucek, who worked for the Seattle SuperSonics in 2006.

Harding, 34, was the first overall selection in the 2007 WNBA draft.
