Simmons’ Role Is About the Future | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in Sacramento, but his role is strictly defined: backup point guard behind Darius Acuff Jr., with no intention of sidelining the Kings’ young talent. Signed to support Acuff’s development, not revive his own career, Simmons’ minutes at point guard are the core value — playing him elsewhere like small forward only hurts the team’s rebuild. ESPN’s odd depth chart misplaces him; he should be second-string PG, not third. With a one-year deal, the Kings must prioritize future growth over veteran presence — any long-term move must come without sacrificing their rising stars.
