As the Philadelphia 76ers are preparing for the NBA resumption inside the bubble in Orlando and they are making plenty of change in their starting lineup in order to be more dynamic.
The biggest move was having Ben Simmons off the ball and at the power forward position to try and have him use the strength of his speed on offense. The idea now is to try and unlock other parts of his game which includes his 3-point shot.
Now, coach Brett Brown has noticed a paradigm shift in his willingness to shoot the ball more, but that still remained to be seen if he would bring it out in games. If the first scrimmage game on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies is any indication, then that shot is going to be brought out in games more.

Earlier in the game, Simmons attempted a 3-pointer for his first shot attempt of the game, but he missed. This means he is now 1-for-2 in this game from deep. This is a huge development for Simmons and his offensive game moving forward. [lawrence-related id=35350,35342,35325]
