He's not starting at PG.

He's starting at the 3, and playing like LeBron or Giannis do today, and guys like Pippen did back then.

Fultz will be the PG like Kyrie was the PG last few years with LeBron secondary playmaker primary scorer he probably will have the second highest attempts per game. Simmons will initiate more plays IMO

Re: How do you use Ben Simmons?

Ben is the perfect PnR Roll man because of his length. He also has really good ball handling ability and benefits from long strides so when he gets the rebound, I automatically push it with him. He's excellent at pushing the break. I know it's a little cheesy but I also run him at the 5 sometimes. It's not completely absurd (LeBron played Center a few times in the playoffs) but it's really good against slow centers or guys who are also running small ball.

Not true, this has been repeated over and over by the 76'ers since last year. He will start at PG and I'm sure switch with fultz. Ben has he's mind set on playing the point also. This report is just from July.

Re: How do you use Ben Simmons?

He’ll definitely be the primary ball handler in the offense.

The NBA is headed for an era of position-less basketball so let’s toss all the 1-5 nonsense out the window for a moment.

Fultz and Simmons can both run the offense, I’m sure they’ll rotate that responsibility almost effortlessly. Both have excellent vision and playmaking abilities, but when both are on the court at the same time, it’s best to let Simmons handle the ball, and allow Fultz to be the natural scoring machine he is.

Just thinking about all the possibilities with this team makes me giddy

You guys do know the Sixers are not gonna play him at the 1 right? It's gonna be like Giannis. They'll let him be the primary ball handler probably about 60% of the time, but he will play the 3 or 4. He absolutely won't be guarding point guards lol.

Exactly. That’s why I said just throw the positions out of the window. The 6ers are one of those teams that can hit you with some many dangerous lines up.

Once they mature and gel they’re going to be one dangerous squad
