The Philadelphia 76ers have hired former Duke and WNBA star Lindsey Harding as a full time scout for next season.
Harding, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA in 2007, is only the second former WNBA player to be hired for a fulltime scouting position with an NBA team. Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Jenny Boucek is the other, having done advanced scouting work for the Seattle SuperSonics in 2006.
"I think when you have this goal in mind, your gender shouldn't even matter," Harding told ESPN.
