One of the biggest needs for the Philadelphia 76ers coming into the 2019-2020 NBA season was the back-up point guard position behind Ben Simmons. The team added Raul Neto and Trey Burke to fill that hole, but now, the time has come to see who will emerge as the primary option.
Simmons suffered a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder against the Utah Jazz and both Neto and Burke will have a big responsibility as a result. The point guard position is very important on both sides of the ball for the Sixers. Simmons was the quarterback of this offense, and on defense, he would help set-up his teammates and take on the best player on the opposing side.
