Sixers are pretty desperate for a guard/wing with a high scoring ceiling. They have a bunch of guys that can play off ball, shoot 3s, defend and play in Brett's motion system but it's been a big problem that late in games when good teams tighten up their defense that they've completely stagnated and turned it over a bunch.
I mean, it's the sixers and any elite guard talent would welcome but I think with Simmons/Lonzo you have two really unselfish/creative with a lot of overlapping skill sets that would work together but neither one is likely to be a 26ppg+ kind of guy, think the Sixers need someone who would be a bit of a selfish offensive guy like Fultz who can put up big scoring numbers.
They prob won't have the option to get him so it's a moot point anyway but I really like
Embiid
Simmons
RoCo
TLC
Fultz
As an opening day line up that's really balanced as far as role players/stars go with complimenting skill sets and usage balance to get the most out of it.
