If you combine the Johnson, Jones, and Wade teams what would your roster look like?

So this includes guys Brady recruited/coaches but also played under Johnson

1: Tremont Waters
2: Marcus Thornton
3: Garrett Temple
4: Ben Simmons
5: Jordan Mickey
BN: Cam Thomas
BN: Tasmin Mitchell
BN: Skylar Mays
BN: Naz Reid
BN: Jarrell Martin
BN: Javonte Smart
BN: Tim Quarterman
BN: Antonio Blakeney

Getting it down to 20 or so guys was easy but cutting it to a 13 man roster was difficult.
Had a really hard time choosing between Blakeney and Hornsby
Had a hard time cutting KBW, Watford, Days, and JOBIII

Temple isn't a starter

G - Waters
G - Thornton
F - Simmons
F - Martin
C - Reid

Bench

Mickey
Thomas
Mitchell
Smart
Mays
Eason
Blakeney
Quarterman/Temple (I guess)

better big men than guards over the last 15 years.

You can stick him on the oppositions best scorer and he’ll lock them down. Just ask JJ Redick.

How long before someone comes on here saying Simmons doesn't belong?

What was the other center that played with JOB? Can picture him but can’t get the name. Played for the heat some after.

With a competent HC Watford would definitely be on the roster.

PG Ben Simmons
SG Cam Thomas
SF Tasmin Mitchell
PF Tari Eason
C Justin Hamilton

Bench
Tremont Waters
Marcus Thornton
Naz Reid
Kavell Bigby-Williams
Jordan Mickey
Johnny O'Bryant III
Keith Hornsby
Skylar Mays

Hamilton, KBW, and JOB3 are pretty interchangeable at center. Hamilton just has better offense. Obviously you can go "small" and fast with a lineup of Simmons, Waters, Eason, Mickey, and either Mays or Hornsby.

It pains me to see people putting Simmons in the lineup. Yes, he is a great athlete but he destroys any team chemistry you were going to have. Basketball is more than the ability to move and dunk.

I don't start him simply because Simmons is a better version of him. He definitely still has his place as a defender when, especially if a team has 2 stud scoreres, you could start him over Martin or Naz.

Yeah someone that created the most open 3 point attempts in the NBA the last year he played and also a runner up for DPOY as well as a 2x all nba defender and 3x All Star….Sounds like a horrible guy to have…

Ben Simmons didn’t even try to play last year for the 76ers due to his “mental health”. 76ers traded him to the Nets. Then when everybody thought he might play in the playoffs, the Nets got down 3-0 and he decided his back was sore.

Phenomenal athlete, but the guy is probably the worst teammate anyone could ever have.
