Ben Simmons: Bust or No Bust

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Dude ain't played a game in the league yet and you already askin if he's a bust or not... SMH...... nikka ain't even been drafted yet and nikkas like you already being cornballs..... Goddamn Skip Bayless got yall souls and you don't even know it............. How the fukk do you judge if he's a bust or not when he hasn't played ONE NBA game????? Damn you nikkas are corny

That's just how it is these days. Back than a we use to say be patient with a 19 year old let him develop. He's not a great shooter, let him develop. He's not strong enough, let him grow. He doesn't have a killer instinct, let it develop. But in 2016 he needs to have all that now.

The crazy thing is we give Brandon Ingram those benefits.

The coli.com where if a 18 year old doesn't have the bball iq of a Kobe or lebron and the mid range game of prime dirk or Duncan you wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole

Why do people think 6'10 guys need to be great shooters?

Especially at 19

Who said great?

Not great, just remotely competent. He can't really play SF at the level people think he will with no jumper and the LBJ comparisons need to stop yesterday

So basically all you have to do to go high in a draft is be good in High School?

 

[Lootpack]

Won't be a bust, but he ain't gonna be a superstar.

He was arguably the best player in the country this year. Led the NCAA in double-Doubles. What yu talking about?

But he clearly wasn't and it isn't even arguable. And I'm not talking about Simmons. I'm simply using the logic that if you're a higher prospect in college scouts eyes due to your performance in high school and college games don't matter, and you can develop all your skills in the nba then all that matters is High School.

 

[charknicks]

Based on the expectations that were put on him- bust.

I think he will be a great player though. Just not a take over a team, franchise player. That level of pressure was unfairly put on him. He doesnt have that type of game. The kid cant shoot. He is basically a 6'9 PG.

 

[I'm Chillin]

I'm starting to root for Ben Simmons just to see a lot of you nikkas eat crow

Who is clearly better than him??? Who is arguably better than Ben Simmons????????? "And I'm not talking about Simmons"????? Who the fukk are you talking about in a Ben Simmons thread?????? Did he label himself the next LeBron???? Are you seeing shyt that reporters aren't seeing????

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

He'll be good. The college game doesn't have enough space for him.

I can say whatever the fukk I want in whatever thread I'd please, And Hield and Valentine were way better than him. And if you fon't know what a gerenal statement is that's you problem. WTF does your comment even have to do with my fukking post. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

 

[Regular_P]
