NBA star Dwyane Wade talked about Nets new signing Ben Simmons on the TNT show. Wade said: "I could have grabbed rebounds, rebounds in the frontcourt, rebounds in the backcourt. The best player who could have defended the opponent, he can defend from the first position to the fifth position, he has physical condition. Instinct allows his teammates to fit into the game.
"We always have that view that we need to shoot. Yes, Ben does need to improve himself. But now, Ben needed to do the best he could. If he can do it to the extreme, then his projection is not a problem.
'I once won a championship with Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) and he did what he could and we could make up for the holes we couldn't make up for the penalties.
