76ers coach Brett Brown has always had every intention to make Ben Simmons a point guard.
His latest declaration of that came Wednesday. And the transformation will come sooner than the Sixers originally scheduled.
“When he’s ready to go to the court, my intention is to give him the ball and let him be the point guard,” Brown said. “That’s the plan. That doesn’t just happen. It takes a little bit of time to introduce him.”
To make room, the Sixers would slide Jerryd Bayless off the ball. However, Bayless would still guard the opposing team's point guards.
