22. Brett Brown, Philadelphia 76ers

Don’t get use to seeing Brett Brown here at number 22. What the Sixers front office has done the last two years has put Brown in a beautiful situation to succeed. Last year, Brown lead the Sixers to a 28-54 record.

This was due to an injury riddled depth chart including Embiid playing only 31 games and their first overall pick Ben Simmons out for the year. Brown has done a nice job of improving some key role players on this roster.

Robert Covington, TJ Mconnell, and Richaun Holmes have all made great strides just from the 2017 season alone. Look for this trend to skyrocket in 2018, and this time next year you might see Brett Brown as a top 15 NBA head coach.
