Former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is not the All-NBA player he once was, but he can still be a helpful player. Back injuries have robbed him of his athletic ability and he is not the same player he was while helping the Sixers morph into contenders.

Just a few seasons ago, nobody in the basketball community ever imagined Ben Simmons playing for a third Atlantic Division squad.

With those three gone, the Celtics have two proven big men on the roster: Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman. With Charles Bassey appears to be going overseas, Boston needs big man depth, and at six-foot-ten, Simmons would give them that.
