[Domino]

I would like to make it known that Simmons would be on KD all game long defensively

 

[Coach Ellis]

Love how Wes built his team. Star PG, three wings and a dynamic center who can play both ways. It’s what I’d love to see the Jazz try to do tbh. He got good value with CP3 and Jeremi Grant where he got them.
Domino has talent, but I’m not sure the pieces all fit together efficiently. Went with Wes for this one.

It also helps Wes’ cause that Durant is an unstoppable scoring machine. Simmons won’t stop him.

This is the best squad I’ve ever assembled in any of these. Every guy is a really good defender. Every guy except Ayton can hit the 3 and I expect him to start to in the next couple years. The 2’s-4’s are all very interchangeable in the starting unit—tons of switchability there. Depending on the opponent, I could start Van Vleet at the 2 and shift Middleton to the 3, and pull Grant out of the starting lineup. Just a ton of flexibility overall…

I just don't see Zion and Simmons working together. Both would be utilized best when surrounded with shooters. If you want them both then it would make sense to construct the roster in a way that Simmons would be playing with second unit. But you still have Westbrook there on top of that to add to the problem.
