SAM HINKIE seemed at ease on Wednesday, even though he was in sort of an awkward position for him.
Hinkie was watching the 76ers conduct another spirited practice sesson at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. That isn't unusual for him, as he usually does just that when he isn't touring the country scouting possible draft picks. The oddity was that he was observing next to Jerry Colangelo, the NBA legend who was brought in to the organization on Dec. 7 to, many assume, take over The Process from Hinkie, using all the assets that Hinkie cleverly accumulated in his three seasons as general manager.
