THANK YOU BRETT BROWN! - Kendrick Perkins on Ben Simmons moving to a power forward | The Jump

I personally think the underrated aspect of this is that Shake Milton is becoming the starting PG. He may have been in the rotation for only 2 months but he showed that he can be Philly's best shooter.

Stretchless 4.

Paul “Look” Pierce & Kendrick “Listen” Perkins

I takes an Einstein to convert an athletic 6-10 Forward to play Power Forward. Amazing and revolutionary!

“Sussessful”
- Kendrick Perkins

"I love food, I need it like old people need soft shoes" Perk though 😂

He’s still gonna run the point.

This is a W for Brett Brown

ben saying he can play all 5... ok start him at SG

I honestly Think it’s better But he needs to at least develop a fadeaway Jumper

“I can do anything in the floor” yeah except hit a jumpshot Ben lol

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. He can still handle the ball frequently from the 4, but just having another guard will do so much more for your team.

“I can do anything on the floor...” except hit a jumper

It’s 2020 the NBA has changed to position-less basketball. It’s just five on five.

Wish they had done that move last year with Jimmy Buckets. That would of been something.

0:16 Ben Simmons: You put me on the floor I'll make anything happen.
Us: Except shoot a three pointer.

Horford was prolly the worst Free Agent signing last off season..A bunch of money and a horrible fit..Terrible job by Elton Brand

Love to see a zion vs ben match up

I was thinking about this the other day and I think this is a great move.

Miss me with the soft shoes line....but good point -G-

💥 ok Paul he gave a compliment

They should done this since the beginning of the season

Sixers Need To Hire Me .... I Been Doing This In The Last 2 Years In 2k

Perk we are listening, you don't have to keep telling us...🤣🤣

Sixers would be so much better if they were able to keep jimmy and JJ. They need spacing baaaaad.
Edit: spelling

Taking advantage of his size/speed/strength/and agility could mean having him on the 1 just as well as on the 4
He’s a talented player what cn you say

Shake been a good shooter since Smu days played against him he was in our conference

We still have Mattis Thybulle off the bench too. I love this move

If you put me on the floor, I can make anything happen, except shoot a jumper-Ben Simmons 😂😂😂

If you guys are not familiar with Shake Milton let me break it down hes combo guard that can play in pnr spot up for 3 create shots off the dribble has nice handles this season Shake averaged 9 ppg 2 apg rpg in such limited min only 19 mpg he is what Fultz was supposed to be imo

This was a good move I probably would have put him at small forward but they still need a consistent outside shooter

Seriously, can we mute Perkins mic when he’s not talking. It’s a simple editing task.

They said Chris Paul been on the snitch line

Ben is a freak athlete.. say all you want about his shot but this man passing skill is one of the highest in the league.

Shakes milton 👀 looking scary!

I love it

When he shoots it, the ball spins elipticly so it means his left elbow still flares out . Hope he can make it work tho

This is a move to keep other teams on their toes and give the sixes options. Horford will still play time to time with embiid. Simmons will still play PG in some lineups. 76ers got options.

Kendrick “position to be successful” Perkins

Philadelphia is a great team

I think the bigget news here is my guy Shake getting the starting job, I already know he's gonna go crazy 😤

A good move, but a lot depends on Milton's performance, he's unknown in the nba, but now teams are going to pressure and prepare for him.

Ben is a great PG. He is great at reading passing lanes, getting steals, getting points in transition, and his height gives him plenty of defensive advantages against other guards. But long story short, he didn't make the team's offense better because he couldn't spread the floor. He didn't shoot the ball, even though we saw him do it countless times in practice, his mechanics looked good, too. He just needed to make more attempts in live games. Not sure why he just didn't do it.

This should be very interesting. U got a forward that can pass. High low game could be serious threat.

“if you put me on the floor, i’ll make anything happen.”
yea..... anything except a jumpshot!

Perk's house is so nice

"Listen" - Kendrick Perkins.

So after this season more or less they will be trading al horford for them to get a legit point guard that can shoot. I will not put too much expense on Horford then make him play off the bench. Just my thoughts

Talk heavy Ben

Please space the floor when you're playing for, you need to adjust sometimes

Really don’t think it will be too effective in today’s game. Positions matter less and skill are what matters.

Yea this is a very great move they was trying hard to make him like LeBron. But this move right here makes there Dow low position a beast. I have a fast PF who can dribble that's fast and long , then a center that's just tight hand to hand

This is all about making the team play better together. Have Al Horford lead the team from a distance on the bench, give Ben and Joel the space, literally and figuratively, on the floor and to lead the team as the true stars of the team. Joel Embiid is enough center for a starting unit. Horford is giving starting center power to a bench squad, he will be affective. Plus you can plug in Al to play with the starters however you want.

That lineup would be scary if Jimmy was still there. Milton-Tobias Harris-Jimmy-Ben-Joel

In today"s game he can definitely play at the no. 4 position. Low post plays and PF enforcers are no longer a trend in NBA.

Somebody show PP how to adjust his glasses, they're about to launch off his face

Been saying this from day 1. Name the last time a team won a NBA finals with a point guard that wasnt a very good shooter..... what you will find is that it was the Celtics back when Rajon was there. That also was when a different style of basketball was happening. This move will work a lot better for them

Anyone else notice Perkins breathing in his mic every episode lol

This makes sense because after all they did draft Markelle Fultz hoping he could be the PG of the team which means Simmons would have played PF. Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out. Now, they need PG who can score and makes his own shots. Shake Milton might just be that guy.

Hey kendrick......pga tour is on the front line bud already been teein up for 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it..

Simmone at the 4 is Draymond Green on steriods

BOY!!!.. Dat Nga perkins lookin like Tsu Surf in the thumbnail.

Not everyone can win together Perk. Just because they’re both stars doesn’t mean anything. There are types of players that just don’t compliment each other. It’s nice to see they’re trying something new our but let’s see what happens before we act like this already worked for them.

We need a solid combo guard to elevate bens game.

Best move is moving Simmons to PF. It’s easier to find a shooting PG then a shooting PF. he can still operate as the ball handler but atleast they aren’t playing him and another person that can’t really shoot at pf

Good move

This is really something I have been saying and I’m glad they did because of that Giannis Antetokounmpo comparison I wanted this move because it makes Philadelphia 76ers in a significantly enhanced ability to win the 2020 NBA Finals. Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be a replicated player as he is that dominant. Yet this move will in my ceiling on this makes Ben Simmons the second best Power Forward in the NBA behind, Giannis Antetokounmpo in the NBA Eastern Conference and perhaps the NBA as well for active players.

He would be an MVP candidate and he could play the position he actually wants to play (pg) if he could shoot

I think Ben is going to accept what he’s not and start playing his size. If he plays his size, the sizers gonna do some damage. That’s one big, strong dude right there and so is Joel. If both Joel and Ben are on the low block, you can’t double either. No ones guarding either one on one.

Who else saw him shoot that three in the beginning 👀

i agree, i like the move. takes simmons OFF the ball and lets him freelance, which makes him and the 6ers more VERSATILE. not only that, but it makes them a DEEPER team for sure. i STILL worry about the SHOOTING and STILL feel like they're gonna get CLOBBERED by the bucks, but brett brown made a SNEAKY solid move here

I guess this makes sense considering they not really a three point shooting team anyway

It's amazing how bad that Horford signing looks in retrospect. Not only did they let Jimmy and Reddick walk, but they spent all their money on another big man.

This adjustment should have been made. Hopefully, it translates to limiting Joel Embiid's minutes in the early quarters and fresher to dominate in the second half.

I think it's a good idea

If Ben developed a decent mid-range shot with a decent FT%, he'd be an MVP caliber player every year.
Kinda weird that, knowing that, he doesn't even *try* to become better

Honestly when I look at that roster I dont know how anyone beats the 76ers in a 7 game series and I'm a Heat fan

It shouldn't matter what position u put Ben in.. He should still handle the ball for fast breaks..bring up his PPG..and work on his shooting most importantly

Dude said I can do anything on the court but make a jumper

Bro how do you counter that ...we shall see but pick your poison down in the paint

Great move by the 76ers, court spacing is still suspect but a lot better and Al will be able to play center again and give Embiid meaningful rest during the playoffs

Lol I made this move in 2k years ago you really cant stop it ben wont have to get singled out to shoot so much.

This would benefit the philly more because it gone be more space and Ben can be at the dunkers spot or something

Hopefully the sixers can avoid the Celts in the first round I just feel like the sixers matchup better with Miami or Indiana in the 1st round

The boy Perkins needs to calm down and remember how average he was before he criticises players

1:30 "kendals my girl"

people are saying that they love this moved...i feel like they gave up waiting for his jumpshot....they accepted that he cant shoot..lol

Kendrick LISTEN Perkins

This is just a temporary fix, not permanent
In order for Simmons to reach his full potential, he needs to develop shooting so he can play PG position

So the only press the Kings can get it this? I am surprised they remembered there were other players other than Zion in Orlando.

Horford punching the air rn for leaving the celtics

He can make anything happen except a open 3

I seriously find it amazing how much people over-exaggerate position in Basketball....Wasn't Ben Simmons basically the Power Forward(point forward) when Horford moved to the bench and they started Kourkmaz? Does claiming Ben Simmons as a PG or PF somehow change his attributes? Why is this even news? Doesn't matter if Ben is PG, or PF whenever he and Joel are on the court together it's gonna be terrible spacing

Bro it doesn't matter if he play pf or which ever position if he can't or take jumps hot the result will be the same

It help with their spacing but it won’t solve all their problems. Joel is still gonna have to be at the 3 point line sometimes.

I don't understand the significance of this in positionless basketball these days. Is this there way of saying Ben Simmons is going to have less ball possession? Either way it doesn't hide his non-existent shot and it still hinders emblids low post positioning/play

Moving Horford to the bench is the real win win.

Out of all the things he said he could make happen, notice that a jump shot wasn't on the list

Brett Brown emphasizing speed rather than utilizing his teams size advantage.. 😕
