One of the hottest topics surrounding the Sixers heading into the 2018-19 season is how Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz will play together.
There are, of course, a ton of caveats to this extremely small data sample; it's the first preseason game, it was against a non-NBA team, and it was Fultz's first start since Oct. 4, 2017. Still, the speculation and data has to start somewhere.
On first glance, there are definitely some positive points of which to make note.
Simmons and Fultz didn't seem to have a problem coexisting. Simmons is an excellent distributor and made good use of Fultz's ability to get to the rim, assisting on four of Fultz's made field goals, and Fultz is the kind of ball-handling creator whom the team wished they had last season.
