Because he's the most talented player and PG is a position we need?


And once again Simmons is a statue without the ball in his hand.

Cannot play without the ball.

Fultz is a creator which literally takes the ball out of Simmons hands

I don't disagree with you but we aren't going to skip out on Fultz just for that reason lol.

Also we still need a PG. Fultz also can play some off the ball.

Fultz can do anything offensively.

Lebron needs the ball in his hands to be effective, but he doesn't initiate every single play.

It's going to be the same thing here. Every team needs a good 2nd initiator. Fultz can do this while still being able to shoot a high percentage on plays without the ball.

Fultz is a fit anywhere.

Much better shooter then Simmons i'll say that but i don't understand having a "4" play the PG at 6'10/7

If you give Lebron a point guard who can actually distribute the ball i think otherwise. Kyrie is not a passing PG at all.

Fultz is a better offensive weapon then Simmons IMO

Lineup on offense.

PG - Simmons
SG - Fultz
SG -Bayless
PF - Covington
C - Embiid

On defense

Fultz/Bayless covers 1/2
Covington on SF
Simmons defends their PF
C - Embiid

He's still a power forward, just plays PG on offense.

He's not the greatest shooter right?
So why would you have him spotting up in the half court, if he's a beast at play making?
Simmons should indeed have the ball a lot more in his hands imo.

because an offensive lineup with fultz, covington, saric, simmons, and embiid has horrible spacing.

Saric and Simmons are both great passers, but poor shooters, why start them together.

Saric might get in the starting lineup, but his shooting has to be a lot better than it is right now for that to happen and make it work.
