Following another poor performance form Ben Simmons, the Nets have to figure out where he fits moving forward.
Fans seem to be fed up watching a five-year, $177.2 million contract-player being hesitant to score the ball and playing just 13 minutes.“You put another big next to Ben, then you got to figure out what the spacing is around him. Then if you put a playmaker next to him, then you got to figure out what Ben looks like without the basketball. Then if you go small with Ben, then you have to figure out can you rebound enough with him,” Vaughn said.
“So, the challenges are ahead of us. We’ll look them head on. We’ll figure it out. We have the personnel to figure it out. Whether it is me mixing and matching throughout different pieces of the game, and allowing him to have a group and run with a group, that part we’ll figure out, but you see the challenges that lie ahead.”“Everything’s been changing all year, so it’s hard to really understand what’s going on, but hopefully we find some rhythm and consistency,” Simmons said. “It’s different.
Unless Simmons finds a spark and proves he’s worth his hefty price the rest of the season, then the Nets might run into trouble trying to get valuable pieces in return.
