Dennis Schroder is entering his 12th NBA season, so this is nothing new for him.
Schroder has played in lineups alongside another point guard earlier in his career with the Thunder, the Lakers and the Celtics, so he says it wasn’t a huge adjustment being on the floor at the same time with three-time All-Star Ben Simmons in the preseason opener with the Nets.
The 6-foot-10 Simmons is attempting to remain healthy after undergoing another shutdown back surgery in the spring. “Right now, it’s gonna happen, yes, in the next game,” Fernandez said. “I’m happy with the way we played as a group. We started with two point guards, and we’re gonna do it again.“I think that the combinations were fine. Obviously, we struggled rebounding, and it’s something we addressed. Are we smaller? Maybe, yes, but we gotta do a better job finding bodies and hitting bodies and finishing possessions. So far, we’ll stick with it.
