Should the Sixers even let Simmons step onto the court this season, likely right after the All-Star break, given that they took such precious care with Joel Embiid the last two years? Philly has 26 games after the break, and even if they green-light Simmons, he ’d probably play in 20-22 of those games (resting for a few) and would be kept on a strict minutes limit (perhaps 20 per game). How much would that small sample size benefit the development Simmons, or the Sixers for that matter? And would it be worth the risk for Simmons, who suffered a Jones fracture last fall and required foot surgery? The easy option would be to stash him until next season if only to eliminate all possibility of something going wrong. Remember, Kevin Durant had the same surgery a few years ago and, upon returning, needed a second surgery and missed the remainder of that season. There’s too much invested in Simmons, who is projected to be just as important, if not more, to their future as Embiid. There’s a chance of Simmons returning and helping the Sixers’ playoff hope, though those aren’t great and the team might benefit better by cashing in on another lottery pick instead. Giving their long-suffering fans 20 games of Simmons and Embiid would be an appropriate reward for putting up with so much grief the last three seasons, a tease designed to amp anticipation for next season and beyond, but the big picture is what’s important. -- 好久沒發文了 :D --
