Haha. Well Brad could shoot from distance which forced a mismatch often. Opposing Center/PF had to get out there on Brad. Brad could put the ball on the court and dribble by many "Bigs." If you switched a guard on him, Brad could back a smaller player into the paint and post up. Miller could pass from anywhere and be accurate. Adelman ran a form of "Princeton Offense" with back door cutters/slashers along the baseline. Miller did a good job of getting the opposing"Big" away from the rim. Silas likes using a Center or PF in the same nature as he did with Olynyk last season. Sengun this year. _______________________________________________________________________ Simmons is a top notch passer. I've said once Simmons gets a running start and gets momentum.....he is hard to stop. Here is Simmons be Utah last year without Embiid. You can see Utah trying to form that Wall at the free throw line like most teams try to stop Giannis. Unfortunately the Rockets need space to allow Green/Porter to operate. Not that Green/Porter cant be spot shooters for Simmons (Green 40% CnS 3P% w/Ignite and Porter 40.7% w/Cavs in CnS 3P%). But that Dunker Spot is lame when Green/Porter drive. I would need Simmons to buy in wholeheartedly in screening for all. His defense is top 2. P.S. I could make it work and Silas could make it work.....but Simmons nixed a deal to Houston before supposedly. I'm not putting too much stock in a Simmons to Houston trade right now.
I’m not putting too much stock in it either but you gotta think the difference between then and now is we actually have a promising young core now…and Simmons’ team, coach, and city hadn’t thrown him under the bus back then. There are far worse places Simmons could land than Houston.
Will it to happen glimmertwins I'm not against it,. Jalen Green is super amped and motivated to be the best and win mentality would do wonders to Simmons psyche. He needs that like Bulls players needed MJ to drive them or Lakers players needed Kobe to push them. As you can see in the video I posted, Simmons is asked to set screens. I just think I could make him more of a roll man threat. Every Pick-n-Roll with Simmons should and could be an easy bucket for Simmons. He just needs to understand that he is 6'10" and not a 6'3" point guard......few can block his shot if he gets momentum towards the basket. #misusedinPhilly Another problem I foresee is Morey. He is a schyster. If both teams would just swap headache for headache that would be good. Knowing Morey he wants the moon and more.
Yes sum, in time. I would loved to have seen a 28 year old Brad Miller in that Adelman system instead of the 33 year old. Same with a 28 y/o Brad in this Silas system. I'm just saying, Simmons - Jalen Green or Simmons - Kevin Porter jr Pick-n-Roll could be out of this world. Even greater than Stockton - Malone. Who do you guard? How do you guard it? The speed and athleticism of Green/Porter coming around the corner from a high screen and Simmons who you need to build a wall between him a the rim if he gets his momentum headed that way......ohhhhhhhweeee!!!!!! But I digress, Simmons has stats that have been underwhelming as the Roll-Man in frequency, ppp, and NBA percentile. Then again, I question if Smmons has ever had a point guard that could deliver him the ball while rolling; consistently? Embiid and Tobias Harris are not exactly pont guards.
