After dropping Game 1 at home, the Philadelphia 76ers‘ season could come down to Monday night’s battle with the Brooklyn Nets. Brett Brown needs to make several tactical adjustments, both it terms of system and rotations.
One obvious adjust should be removing Jonathon Simmons from the second unit. He was a -16 in 11 minutes on Saturday, and while that wasn’t entirely his fault, there’s no real benefit to having him on the court. In the words of fellow Sixers blog Liberty Ballers, Simmons is aggressively bad.
Despite boasting the outline of a useful player on paper, Simmons lacks the requisite skills to help the Sixers.
