Gavin Schall is joined by Locked On Clippers host Darian Vaziri to break down what Ben Simmons could potentially bring to the Knicks as their final signing.  

The duo dives deep on how Simmons' unwillingness to shoot hurt the Clippers, whether or not he's still an elite defender, the degree to which he declined athletically, how the Knicks could use him more creatively than the Clippers did and finally if they'd ultimately think the Knicks should sign him or not.

Simmons undeniably makes sense as a defensive add for the Knicks, but is his offense so bad that he'd ultimately be unplayable when it matters most?
