Ben Simmons has shown he can get back to playing well, maybe even play like his old self. But he hasn’t shown he can do it alongside Nic Claxton.
On a Nets team starved for offense, Cam Thomas’ scoring may be impossible to keep out of the lineup anymoreThat’s the challenge for the Nets, for whom something good is seemingly always followed by something worrying.
“Ben still has the ability to attack and have pace no matter who’s out there on the floor, especially the way teams are going to guard. So some nights when we do go small and we have more shooting out there, we have to take advantage of that. On the nights where Nic is with him, then we have to be better on the defensive end of the floor and allow us to get stops and run. So that’s the connection there.
While Simmons did coexist with Claxton for large stretches last season, the duo was flanked by stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, as well as shooters Joe Harris, Seth Curry, Patty Mills and Yuta Watanabe.He was dangerous surrounded by four shooters, with stretch-4 Dorian Finney-Smith filling in for the injured Claxton as a 6-foot-7, 220-pound small-ball center.
