NBA HoopGrids answers for July 15

Looking at Grids 1 and 7, the first grid is a player who played for both the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets. There are several easy answers for this grid, but perhaps the most obvious answer is Ben Simmons.

Simmons started his career with the Sixers before asking for a trade and landing with the Brooklyn Nets last year. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond are also correct answers because they were part of the Simmons trade package to Brooklyn.

Other correct answers include Tony Battie, Derrick Coleman, Maurice Cheeks and Keith Van Horn.

For Grid 7, the player must be a Duke product and have suited up for at least a game for the Philadelphia 76ers. The most famous Duke player who played for the Sixers is JJ Redick. He's arguably one of the greatest Duke players ever, alongside Christian Laettner.

Other correct answers include Seth Curry, Jahlil Okafor Elton Brand and Gerald Henderson.
