Ben Simmons' participation in five-on-none drills has been a benefit for the Philadelphia 76ers' coaching staff.

"It helps," Brett Brown said. "I see different things when I watch him out there. You can see how you can post smaller people. You can see how he might be effective in different ways that you didn't [see] drawing it on paper."

Brown added that the play scripting is the clearest example of Simmons' improvement as a basketball player despite his being sidelined this season with injury. 

Simmons has also improved his shooting form.
