The thing I don't understand is.... Simmons is a really good point guard. Why use a #1 pick on a true point guard??? Could have traded it for an elite PF, or draft a position you don't have a superstar at.... (PG and C).


What are you trying to say here? That Sixers shouldn't have picked Ben Simmons?

Fultz isn't a true PG

He's more a Dwayne wade type who can attack off the dribble and create his own shots or play off ball with Simmons

He was one of the best 3pt shooters in college before he did whatever the fuck he did to his shoulder

Which is exactly what the sixers need

Their starters can play with anybody, they're one of the best starting 5s in the NBA, but when Embiid sits then the whole team turns into shit. Sometimes we need a second ball handler to create and TJ McConnell is not that

I'm saying the Sixers shouldn't have picked Fultz if they planned on starting Simmons at pg. Unless they really think Fultz can be a sg or good combo guard.

I thought Fultz was more of a scorer than a true pg?

Tatum would have been a cool guard next to Simmons to develop. Or trade it for a good PF. You know that #1 overall with Fultz there was coveted. I know they have Redick and covington who are both good, covington being more of a long term plan, and Redick there for his veteran presence and sharp shooting, but I hope Fultz pans out well.
