Yes . Unfortunately , due to Disney forcing us to accept their canon universe now . They are prequels . <| sep |> I have one of those ! slightly different design , probably WH Smith brandedit wait it was more programming flowcharty eg shapes for disk drives , decision boxes , etc . In fact I was telling someone the other day about it because they were wondering why I was drawing this weird drum shape on paper for persistent storage while rearchitecting their shitty python code . <| sep |> Simmons can play point guard , on offense , but it doesn ' t make him more pliable in a line up with Dario or Ersan . Figuring out who can play with who in an NBA lineup , requires an analysis of what those players do on defense . Take Magic Johnson for example . He played with Michael Cooper and Byron Scott , and those two often covered opposing guards and specifically point guards . Magic would ususally cover opposing wing players , and sometimes even post players . Even outside of the instance where he jumped center in the finals against the sixers . I am sure that Dario , Ersan and Simmons could successfully play offensive basketball together . They are all highly skilled basketball players . However , they all can only cover one type of player . Right now , we are hoping that Simmons can cover SFs , and it has become painfully obvious that Dario will struggle against athletic wings in the NBA if he has to cover them for extended periods of time . Its the same problem with Nerlens , Jahlil and JoJo . JoJo could successfully operate on offense with either of the two . But since they all cover the same type of player , its really difficult to play them at the same time unless the other team has two post players on the floor too . It is why guys who can cover multiple types of players note not positions . wings , primary ball handlers , secondary ball handlers who can shoot or drivecreate , postup players , high post extended players , corner operators . et cetera , are so valuable . As long as Tony Allen can cover three or four types of players , it doesn ' t matter that he cannot score , he ' s useful because he creates longterm lineup flexibility . I like Ersan . but if we do not bundle Dario w Noel or Jahlil in a trade , he can only hurt the development of Simmons and Dario . I am sure you will agree to disagree about that last part though happy thanksgiving .
