a hi-post 2-3 offense like below would be perfect with simmons & embiid.
no idea why you have these unique talents with such height and speed and then think you need some little pg dribbler goofball that will just take away that adv.
But we've moved into an era where the traditional PG is expected to shoot and score now and is not just a 'little pg dribbler goofball' - i.e. - see Steph, The Beard, Dame, CP3
Ben is unwilling to shoot at this point and for somebody that is handling the ball as much as he does - teams either collapse off him during halfcourt sets daring him to shoot (in turn sagging off of him then clogging the lane and disrupting other scoring opportunities and focusing on the other 4 players) or then attack and foul as we saw during the playoffs with 'Hack-A-Ben'
Answer is a Combo Guard who can both handle the ball but shoot as well to alleviate some pressure off of Ben
Need to surround Ben with not only shooters but there needs to be another ball handler (who can shoot) on the court
Doc even doesn't refer to him as a PG (we've moved into positionless ball) - Doc refers to him as a 'facilitator' - but Ben is playing the traditional '1' since he's handling the ball most of the time. He needs to be more of a 'Point Forward' with a Combo Guard running next to him. He's got Seth running with him - but Seth is more of a traditional '2' and a shooter
Danny Green just obliterated Philly Fans - so I question if he'll be back - but I'd love to see them switch it up with -
1 - Maxey
2 - Curry
3 - Tobie (Tobie gets obliterated at times though on defense by quicker wings on the perimeter when he plays the '3' depending on matchups)
4 - Ben
5 - Embiid
Hopefully Maxey's (PG now) shot keeps improving and he can turn into that Combo Guard I was hoping for (i.e. - hopefully he can play more of the traditional '2' in the future and not just the '1') - was hoping it was Shake but Shake appears to me more of one of the first guys off the bench right now
