The answer is a resounding yes.Simmons also fits alongside KP. GREAT defender, just play him at PF/C in the halfcourt like Giannis often does and let him roll like there is no tomorrow. He’s strong enough to bang down low, too.
Is Luka a better player than Embiid? 100% yes.
Does Ben Simmons offensive game no matter how limited it is right now, still fit around Luka (I.E. Set hard picks, catch lobs, be a secondary playmaker when needed)? Yes
This is the most obvious buy the dip moment I've ever seen and I'm still shocked more people can't see it.
His role should be Dwight Powell on steroids with brilliant defense and transition playmaking. The guy would be a weapon here.
PG: Luka
SG: Tim
SF: DFS (preferably a better shooter)
PF/C: Simmons
PF/C: Porzingis
It’s all about roles and who you are teaming Simmons up with. Embiid is absurdly better than KP as a player but he’s probably not even 50% as good a fit as KP alongside Ben.
Id be all over this angle over the summer.
