As for how he’ll work with Fultz, who did play point guard at Washington, Simmons isn’t too worried about that part of it either.
“I have no problem sharing the ball. He doesn’t, either. Watching him play, he can share the ball,” Simmons told reporters.
Sounds like Simmons is ready to put the questions about his position and fit with Fultz to bed. He’s also talking like a player who’s officially bought into what his head coach is selling with him at the one-guard spot. ESPN points out that he’d be by far the tallest official point guard in the league at 6-foot-10, although Giannis Antetokounmpo at 6-foot-19 handles the ball a bit also, but is still listed as a small forward.
To tack onto all this, Simmons apparently didn’t seem too interested in hearing about any doubters or people who are curious how he’ll perform as an NBA point guard, according to Keith Pompey of Philly.

While the Sixers’ primary ball-handler, who’s also a favorite to win the 2019-20 Rookie of the Year award seems confident in his own abilities, no one will be completely sold until they actually see him running the point in an NBA game. For now, it’ll be all about the hype of the young 76ers and the potential for Simmons to prove that he’s the superstar that fans had hoped he would become when first entering the league.
