Team #1: The Ben Simmons-led Philadelphia 76ers

If Ben Simmons is seriously going to be leading the 76ers’ offense, then they are most certainly going to need some capable outside shooting. While Embiid may be a feared low-post player, his jumper does not stretch out to the three-point line.

While the 76ers were a top 10 team in threes made last season, they were in the bottom third of the league in three-point percentage. This team is potent and still has potential to grow, but they will best be able to utilize their talents with a player like Frye in the lineup. Fultz was a dynamic playmaker at Washington and the combination of him and Simmons could lead a lethal offense. With Frye’s ability to competently shooting corner threes, their drives would become even more effective.

Frye would give the 76ers an edge and be able to give Brett Brown several different small-ball lineups to fiddle with. In the East, the 76ers could make the playoffs, but they might need some help to push them over the hump of mediocrity. Frye could be the man.

He also wouldn’t be much cost to them. The Sixers are already looking to end their rebuild, so a second-round pick in a few seasons might be basically worthless anyway.
