But I actually think he’s the guy you want next to KP. Let him play the Giannis-role. He can attack and playmake in transition, in the halfcourt you let him roll to the rim and cut. Don’t ask a lot of playmaking from him when the defense is set.
Defensively he’d be a dream fit alongside KP. Long and big enough to defend inside and rebound but also quick enough to guard the perimeter.

would be a pretty darn awesome squad if everyone buys into his role.
This is where I am too. IF you do something like this, it is next to KP, not instead of KP. Simmons D makes KP at center workable defensively. I started to write "and in Rick's offensive system" and then remembered. The issue is we don't know what offensive system we will be running. So, you can't just plug Simmons into "the Powell role" because there might not be a Powell role.
The other issue with this is I'd want to keep Maxi spreading the floor as the 3rd big. So, in what world do you get Simmons on a deal based around Powell, Brunson and space?
