Ben Simmons has claimed ahead of the Nets’ regular season that he will be “better” than his former All-Star self. The Nets are starting to see progress.
Ben Simmons can get back to All-Star level if he improves in this key area, his old coach saysNets get final chance to work out offensive issue before it gets real“His offensive side is going to come, but his defensive energy has been amazing.” Walker added. “His ability to pass is one of the best attributes in my opinion. He sees the floor. He sees everybody and it can be very dangerous to stop what he does.
The Nets are still in the process of figuring out their rotations ahead of the season, but one advantageous pairing appears to be Simmons and center Nic Claxon.It has been clear to head coach Jacque Vaughn that the two can play together, and both can do a lot — bring the ball up, screen, pick and roll, defend on both ends — but there is still more to be figured out.
“He allows us to do some pretty cool things and for me as a shooter there’s nobody else really I’d rather play with,” he said.“It’s doing its job to say the least. Feeling good. Playing good,” Walker said. “It’s great when you’ve got your teammates egging you on to be aggressive on both ends on the floor. Just playing with confidence.”
