I know that's why i'm asking if anyone out there would know better than me. Maybe there's a hidden gem in the bench that can be used as a PG.

BTW, too late on Ben Simmons. I traded Ben Simmons to my Clips straight up for Patrick Beverly bahahahahaha!!!
what? how did the AI approve that trade? that is just horrible!

I say that because if you run a less traditional offense (ie passing through a big like Jokic or a wing like Batum, or utilizing a lot of flow/motion), then it may open you up to playing whoever you want at "point guard."

It could be advantageous to play someone like Kawhi Leonard in the point guard role, as he is capable of dribbling a ball up the court, and you gain increased switchability.

Example lineup:

PG - Kawhi Leonard
SG - OG Anunoby
SF - CJ Miles
PF - Pascal Siakam
C - Serge Ibaka

This lineup would allow you match up defensively with someone like Simmons at point, or even wreak havoc defensively on a more traditionally-sized point guard like Kyrie Irving or Damian Lillard.

That's a pretty damn good lineup, but that would leave Demar out. Is he supposed to be the 6?

Yeah, I was thinking Batum, but I feel like he would get bullied by a defensive PG. Simmons on the other hand. I don't think any PG can bully him whatsoever.

i think the only real option is to actually go into depth with defensive setting
& put the best defender you have around the same height on him otherwise he's just gonna kill you in the post if you have a 6'3 point guard on him
He is good in real life. He practically puts up double doubles almost every night.

With that said, I use him to create mismatches. When they man up on me while using Simmons, I just drive them to the key all night as long as there is space. Otherwise i'll dish it for an assist all day. Simmons is sick in this game.

He just needs to stay away from the Crapdashians or else he will fall like Tristan and every other celebs that date them lol

DeRozan was traded for Kawhi. The lineup example that I gave are all current Raptors players.
