Doc Rivers opened up about the role of Ben Simmons with the Philadelphia 76ers this season.
Rivers said his plan is to put the ball to Simmons’ hands and let him run the plays.
“Just being a terror playing going downhill, making guys guard you being aggressive, being a facilitator. In transition, we want to open the floor and get the ball to Ben. Tell him to go make something happen. He had a good practice yesterday, he had an ultra charged practice today.
He’s our facilitator for sure. I haven’t had a true point guard since a Chris Paul or a (Rajon) Rondo. I really don’t think I called anybody a point guard for the entire season last year, but Ben is clearly our facilitator, and Ben is special, man.
When he gets the ball in the open floor, there are very few like him and we want to get the ball in the open floor to let him be special,” Rivers, the head coach of Philadelphia told reporters, via Sixers Wire.
Rivers wants to help Simmons and Joel Embiid unleash their full potential in order to make the Sixers a top title contender.
