The Philadelphia 76ers franchise isn’t only focusing on their on-court performance. The franchise also seeks to improve their off-court impact to enhance their player’s development and overall team performance. Therefore, the Sixers hired Ariana Andonian to its front office. Thus, how does this affect Prosper Karangwa’s position in the club?
Philadelphia 76ers New Hire: Ariana Andonian
The Philadelphia 76ers offseason piles up with crucial signings of big star and non-star players. However, the Sixers understand that becoming championship contenders isn’t only for on-court performers. The franchise needed to add another official to its front office to help ignite the performance of its players on the court. Therefore, the President of basketball operations for the 76ers, Daryl Morey, recently made moves this offseason by adding another personnel to the front office.
The Sixers hired Ariana Adonian to be the Vice President of player personnel. Before the Sixers, Ariana worked as the director of player personnel for the Memphis Grizzlies for two seasons. Ariana Adonian worked with Daryl Morey in the past at the Houston Rockets. During that period, she was the scouting coordinator for the Rockets from 2015 to 2018. Therefore, working with Morey again should be an easy transition for Ariana. But, what does this new hire mean for Prosper Karangwa?
Prosper Karangwa’s Outlook with the 76ers
Prosper Karangwa was a former basketball player at Paris Levallois where he played in the No. 7 jersey as a power forward. In 2020, Philadelphia 76ers’ Elton Brand hired Prosper Karangwa as the Vice President of player personnel. Also, he works as the General Manager of Delaware Blue Coats. In 2023, Prosper led the Delaware Blue Coast to become the G League champions.
According to Adam Aaronson’s source, “the Sixers executive Prosper Karangwa’s title with the team is not changing with the hire of Ariana Andonian. Karangwa and Ariana Andonian will *both* be VPs of Player Personnel with “different areas of focus.” On the other hand, Ariana Andonian could help Prosper focus more on his position as the General Manager of Delaware Blue Coats. Also, Ariana’s addition to the Sixer franchise should add more depth to the player personnel position as her qualifications amplify that of the initial Vice President, Prosper Karangwa.
Final Thoughts
Two heads are better than one. The Sixers franchise’s new Vice President of player personnel entails that the club desires to pay closer attention to the details, especially in their players’ development, support, and recruitment process. The team’s roster reshuffled after last season’s playoff experience against the New York Knicks. Therefore, this new roster needs support to develop connections on the court and enhance the team’s performance. Also, the Philadelphia 76ers can cover more grounds in recruiting new players with two VPs in the player personnel position.
