The Nets and Jacque Vaughn are still trying to find a concrete role for Ben Simmons.
, and Nic Claxton, the tallest Net at 6-11, were both on the court for 2:57 in the third quarter against the Heat on Feb. 15. It’s not what Vaughn would have preferred — he likes spacing and speed — but as long as their pairing doesn’t happen for long stretches, “sometimes it makes sense,” he said.
Therein lies the Nets’ issue with Simmons. Vaughn would rather not have him and Claxton together on the court. At the same time, he reiterated Wednesday that Seth Curry, working his way back from a left adductor strain, is the Nets’ backup point guard behind Spencer Dinwiddie. Simmons’ numbers have dipped to career-lows for minutes, points, assists, steals and rebounds per game. The massive numbers of his contract, two years left for a total of $78 million, haven’t changed. And the Nets have 24 games to find a solution before a different type of question — involving Simmons’ status on the team and those salary numbers — becomes even more relevant.
