Celtics swept the Sixers in the preseason.

Celtics are also 3-1 against Sixers and the regular season and might advance again in the ECF at the expense of Simmons and his team.

Just going by this year year's playoffs:

Embiid>Horford
Reddick=Rozier
Simmons=Smart
The rest of the Philly bench <Jaylen Brown all by himself
No one <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><<<<The rest of the Philly bench

Next year

Hayward and Kyrie and anyone Boston adds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anyone else Philly will add.

I like our future more

Yeah, as much as I love Brown, it's definitely Simmons. But Brown is certainly number 2 in that draft, and he's closed the gap considerably on Simmons.

The more interesting question is Simmons versus Tatum. I think you have to take Tatum due to his much better shooting and two-way potential.

Kind of think this is the discussion we should be having since Jaylen is returning from injury. 

If you could only choose Tatum or Simmons right now, who would you take?  Good arguments each way. I'd take Tatum, probably a little because I'm biased, but also because his game seems to get even better in the playoffs.  Simmons seems a bit confused when defended well.  Small sample size, but it is fair to wonder what Simmons' upside will be.

Brown + Tatum + Lakers/Kings pick >> Simmons + Fultz
