Only way I do it is if Simmons is willing to play PF in a spread offense.
On offense, I want him doing the pick-and-roll with Luka and cutting hard to the basket in a Powell like role. I want him putting the ball on the floor and making back cuts to expose opposing PFs. I want him playing old-school, Donnie-style, Antoine Walker-like point-forward and bringing the ball up at times to give Luka a break and force the opposing PF to come out and guard him. I don’t want him trying to play primary PG or off the ball guard where his poor shooting is put fully on display.
I want him switching with Luka on D, so he defends opposing team’s PGs while Luka marks the opposing team’s PF.
I think he would really excel in a role like this.
In the end I don’t think he would accept that role, so even if Philly would agree to it, I wouldn’t do it.
