Ben Simmons isn't really going to defend point guards the entire game is he?
if you say Roco and Fultz will defend guards then just put Simmons at SF
I mean, it's all semantics to me, but I feel like the general opinion of Ben Simmons is that he is a real PG who does normal PG things during a game
I don't get the fascination on naming guys in positions. "Put Simmons at SF". What does that even mean? That he plays the 4 on offense and defense?
Just call Simmons the primary ball handler that can post up smaller opponents and will most likely guard the 3 or 4 or 5 in small ball.
Call Embiid the 5 can shoot from distance that will guard the 5.
Call Fultz a secondary ball handler that can play the 1 or 2 and guards the 1 or 2.
Call Roco the outside shooter who plays the 2 or 3 but can guard the 1, 2 or 3.
Call Saric the guy next to Embiid that will bang it in the post and become an outside threat when Simmons posts up... he will guard the 4 or a 3 in a pinch.
There we have it... 5 starters that can play and defend multiple positions.
