There seems to be an aura of surprise surrounding the recent emergence of Shake Milton. Just this past week it was announced that Milton would be taking over the point guard position while Ben Simmons would be dropping down to power forward, and a healthy amount of Sixers fans were confused with this concept.
Comments like, “But Ben has always been the point guard!” and “Why change the rotation right before the playoffs?” were frequently thrown around on Twitter and in Facebook groups.
Drafted in 2016, Simmons was pretty much positionless coming out of college.
