That’s how it is. Ben Simmons’ physical problems forgotten, now comes the time to make him work on the hardwood. Now without any shining star, the Nets understand that the time has come for his base to shine with its own light, something for which they are willing to place him in the best possible position for the coming season.
Just about that, about Simmons’ fit into the team, his coach Jacque Vaughn has spoken, who points out that he is investigating the correct formula so that he and Nic Claxton can be together on the hardwood and be effective.
«I have to have the right combination around him. Those other three guys have to be the right three guys. The space around them has to be quite premium and quite detailed. And then we have to put Ben and Nic in positions to react with the ball, without the ball, with their spacing,” he tells journalist Erik Slater.
The truth is that in Brooklyn there are many things left to discover; So much so that Vaughn is also not clear about the exact role of another essential piece in his scheme like Cam Johnson.

«I think there will be a kind of balance with him. We need elite shooting from him. I think if there’s something to lean on, we need it. We need the space he gives us. Literally, if he can shoot 10 threes a game, I would love it. I would invite him to dinner every night. He’s a 40% shooter in his career… But at the end of the day, I think he’s growing as a player, and you saw that at the end of the year: his ability to play pick-and-rollhis size, he can run, he can play fast… So many good things await him,” he concludes.
