    Default Ben Simmons

    Garbage time bucket to avoid the triple single.

    Don't know what this guy works on in the gym.

    Did he improve at all from last year to now?

    No. If the NBA had the award he would win NBA Least Improved Player for 2019.

    Thedifference is that Lowry normally had the ability to shoot so we know his struggle is mental. It isn't a good excuse but we know that Simmons can't shoot. He's being asked to play a complimentary role and it's hard to do that when you don't space the floor. He's almost like Dennis Rodman with handles. He needs to get the ball in the paint where he can contribute.

    Hmm The issue is not that he isn't able to shoot. Ben Simmons in the open court might be one of the 3 most dangerous players in the league. But against a team with defensive recovery as good as the Raptors, he is basically useless...And no one seems to care, cause, as you said "we know he can't shoot"

    The guy is an All-Star, and a pretty confident one who really (imo ) have a huuge ego. But it's one thing scoring at will on the Chicagos and the Phoenix of the league, but if you can't step up your game when it matters, you feel overated to me.

    Donovan Mitchell took some slack because he didn't perform as well as some hoped against Houston
    Jay Tatum is taking some heat because so far he has been "meh"
    But Ben Simmons ? "Oh it's OK, he can't shoot for shit. as long as he defend and got some assist, yeah man, All-star for sure"

    Sounds like a hater, sure , but hey at least, no 8, 23 or 24 has been used in this topic

    Lets con a team for the most we can get for him


    we could possibly trick the Suns "he's the next Giannis" into giving us Devin Booker or catch OKC trying to rebuild and get PG13

    Got to be a threat to score nowadays in the league. Gone are the days when goons like Reggie Evans get playing time.

    And if he won't even attempt to shoot from 10+ feet then the 76ers are topped out.

    I'm not sure of Elton Brand's priorities for the upcoming free agency

    Let's assume the 6ers lose either against the Raptors or next round against Milwaukee, so what is the priorities there?

    A: Jimmy B? (He is the real Boss of the Sixers these playoff, always here when times are tough)
    B: Tobias (did he fit so well? feel weird to have seen him almost exclusively as a spot-up shoter today)
    C:JJ ? (Every time i see a Sixers game, JJ make a couple huge shot. If you plan on not signing him, you're gonna suffer if you don't find a really good 3-D to replace him)

    Really curious, knowing Ben and Joel are about to get paid soon
