Are they really going to risk the one year of Ben Simmons by trotting out Robinson and Malone?

Victor or Malone or we don't have one. Half the teams in college don't have a center.

Can't box out.

But all the good teams have a solid front court.

Mickey and Victor probably would be pretty solid. I actually think there is a pretty good chance of that.

Victor and Simmons would be a pretty great front court....

And if we get Mickey back that is perfect.

Your question will be answered when we find out what Martin and Mickey do...and also if Robinson III and Malone improve

Is Simmons a front court player on offense though? I feel like he will be taking the ball up the floor ~60% of the time.

Jury is out on Victor, it's not like he was setting the college world on fire before he left Zona.

Championship contender if he stays, the fact that he almost left last year despite the glaring holes in his game doesn't have me too optimistic though.

Just because he does this in high school does not make me believe he will in college. I see him as a 3/4 guy similar to Martin who will take the ball from the perimeter and drive in occasionally.

Hopefully Martin if he stays. Maybe we can find juco guy.

Why not?

He already has better court vision than anyone on the team besides TQ.

This is a lofty statement that I'm not sure I want to discuss...

I love Simmons' game, but I'm not annointing him as the next great point forward yet. Honestly believe for a team who needs a 4, he will be an absolutely awesome 4 who can stretch the floor and help space out a defense.

So you believe he will be better playing off ball?
