Is Ben Simmons the Philadelphia 76ers starting point guard again?

This past season, former Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown tried All-Star Ben Simmons in a new role entering the NBA Bubble in Disney World. Instead of playing point guard, the All-Defensive team player was shifted to power forward.

With Brown gone and the roster in flux entering the draft and free agency, it was unclear what Simmons’ role on the team would be. However, based on moves made in the draft and free agency, it’s becoming clear how the Sixers’ new president of basketball operations Darryl Morey plans on using the All-NBA player.
