Philadelphia 76ers Drafting Ben Simmons Brings Both Questions And Answers

Point guard. Shooting guard. Small forward. Power forward. Yes, even Center. Ben Simmons is the swiss army knife of basketball prospects. Why? He has the body of a front court player. 6’10” and a huge wing span. While his body is not built for the rock’em sock’em robots boards banging, he would certainly give Nerlens Noel a run for his money as a rim protector. As a power forward, he becomes a very good to elite stretch four, able to threaten deep but vesatile enough to dive down and penetrate for a layup or even to halt and pop for a mid range jumper.
