I view Simmons as kind of a nega-Luka: a guy who greatly enhances your defense by being able to guard 5 positions, but destroys your half-court offense because he is literally incapable of scoring outside of 2 feet from the basket.
Depends on the way he is used. As the secondary ballhandler on the perimeter he is terrible. As the main ballhandler he was solid. Especially when Embiid was out.
I would love to see Simmons as a small ball center. Or next to a true stretch 5.
