Today’s story is up. Last year the Nets had five centers on their roster, which made for a crowded frontcourt. Now they have just two in Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe, who have the potential to be modern bigs. Oh, and don’t forget about Ben Simmons: theathletic.com/3639868/2022/0… – 9:23 AM

Nick Friedell: Nash on Ben Simmons’ versatility: “Very unique. That’s what makes Ben great. That’s why I don’t care if he ever shoots a jump shot. He’s welcome to, but that is not what makes him special, and not what we need. He’s a great complement to our team …” -via Twitter @NickFriedell / September 28, 2022
Kristian Winfield: Ben Simmons says his back isn’t preventing him from doing anything he used to: “I was surprised today, I got a block. I blocked David Duke. I was shocked.” -via Twitter @Krisplashed / September 28, 2022
