TNT Will Rotate Analysts To Pair With Marv Albert For NBA Telecasts This Season

Turner Sports is set to announce that analysts Greg Anthony, Grant Hill and Chris Webber will "form a three-person rotation" to replace Warriors head coach Steve Kerr as "TNT's top NBA analyst" alongside play-by-play announcer Marv Albert, according to Richard Deitsch of SI.com. Turner Sports Senior VP/Production & Exec Creative Dir Craig Barry said, “We have a really deep talent roster and we plan to dig into it and use everybody. We are in a unique position to be able to work through a rotation with A-grade talent. We are looking at it from a perspective that each guy brings something to the table.” Barry said that Reggie Miller will "continue to pair up with Kevin Harlan on a second announcing team, but Miller could occasionally do games with Albert." Hill and Webber could also work with Harlan in a "mix-and-match scenario," and "Inside The NBA" co-host Charles Barkley will "also call some games with Albert and Harlan." Barry said that "the plan is to match analysts based on geography and the matchups of individual games." Turner execs will also make "weekly decisions on when a booth should be two or three people" (SI.com, 10/5).
