One name that has continued to pop up in rumors regarding who the Knicks will use their remaining veteran minimum contract on is guard-forward Ben Simmons. While Simmons possesses an intriguing combination of size, playmaking, and defensive versatility, his offensive limitations would be disastrous to the Knicks' roster.
The Athletic's James L. Edwards III mentioned that Simmons continues to be a name that the Knicks are monitoring in free agency. They currently have room on their roster to sign a rookie and a player with the veteran minimum.
Simmons came into the league as a guard, but is more of a forward, or even a small-ball center at this point in his career.
