Associate Editor

A life long 76ers fan, I take a more analytical (RE: humorless) approach to writing about basketball. I'm the resident reporter on the team, being credentialed with the 76ers, as well as the NBA for the draft lottery, combine, draft, and related events. Outside of writing for Liberty Ballers, I am the associate editor at SBNation Philly, a college basketball scout for Draft Express, and an occasional contributor for NBAPlaybook.com. You can reach me through twitter (@derekbodner), or shoot me an email directly (derek.bodner@sbnation.com).
