Another name that might be out there is Ben Simmons, the oft-injured former No.1 pick who cobbled together some interesting box-score totals (9.2 assists, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per 36 minutes) in a limited role over 51 games split between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers.

We could run out an entire lineup of non-shooters. That appears to be the ideal at this point with this team.

No one will be able to say Scottie or CMB can't shoot with Ben on the team. It's a smart relativity signing.

So, Ben Simmons?
He woudk actually be a great backup center. You’re not finding a better minimum salary guy.

Well he’s played and done well at center for chunks of his career. He’s a 6’10 240 pound guy.
When Embiid would go down he used to have his best stretches of his career without a center on the floor. He played center in those lineups

I don’t think he’s the worst player in the league or anything, but it’s probably just not worth the attention at this point.

All defense no shooting/lack of offense is deff a weird trend to try and start in the NBA in 2025.
