I think the conditions for AJ and Max (or Simmons) on the floor together are: 1) They move and cut in ways that give each other space on offense when needed. 2) They pass (or dribble) the ball sufficiently well that having two bigs doesn't slow down the overall ball movement. 3) They shoot well enough that the holes created (often mid-range) by mismatches of 2 big men can be exploited. 4) They defend sufficiently when opponents go small. When I look at these, I think Simmons gives a better hope of us starting 2 big men. Particularly with #4. I was impressed with Max this year. It appeared that AJ has had a positive impact in that Max was far more active in positioning and movement this year. They can play together if the team's strategies help with #1, but I'm not sure I see them pairing really well in terms of #2-4. Also, don't forget about Eddie Scott. He is a hybrid solution. He seems pretty well suited to be our 3/4. He's quick, strong and has length. Even though Simmons has big upside, Scott may be a turnkey roster fit. He might fit #1, 2, and 4. He'll be a perfect fit if he addresses #3 as a shooter. I also have some hope for Hamilton in this role. |
