Cam Johnson has optimistic take on Ben Simmons’ future

Add another voice to those saying Ben Simmons is close to being ready.

Cam Johnson, talking to the Post’s Ethan Sears Friday, joined with his GM, head coach, best friend and Simmons agent in offering optimism about the 6’11” guard’s future in Brooklyn.

“He sounds good,” Johnson said. “He’s in a good place. He says it’s progressing and he’s excited for the season. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table this year. I expect him to be, if not full form, pretty close to it.”

Simmons, who Mikal Bridges said has been fully engaged with teammates on the Nets group chat, posted encouragement to Johnson and Bridges on their FIBA World Cup journey.
