It's year 1. He's gonna have shyt to work on. In 5 years he might make 130 3's a year. He's no more a finished product than any other rookie. He's just being held to unfair standards.

Ben AND Philly are way ahead of schedule. Even if they get dusted in game 4 there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Now Tinashe on the other hand might not be able to perform in Philly for a while.
:heh:

He should of been the number one pick in the draft


Celtics could of stayed at 1 and just picked him...But it made more sense for them to trade down to the 76ers and pick up another asset and the player they wanted originally.

Lacking the ability to consistently drive & finish is going to shorten his career going forward if he doesn’t figure it out. :francis:

I’ve never seen a nba player of his size unable to finish with the left hand. It’s like Simmons just refuses to use it no matter how awkward the angle is.

:what:nikka WHAT IN THE fukk ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

So he did. Every morning, he'd pop his head into his mom's room at 5:30 a.m.: "I'm gone, Mom. I love you." Then off to the gym, a 90-minute workout before class.

"I get to school about 6:30 every day, and he was here at 5:45, 6 o'clock at the latest, getting his work in," says Frank Bennett, who coached Tatum at Chaminade Prep in St. Louis. "What's impressive is he did it every…single…day! I remember the only day he took off. It was the day after we won state. That was his only day off.


Ben Simmons cried about not being an all-star.

Donovan Mitchell wore a definition of rookie hoodie, in response to Simmons' comments.

Y'all can have this thread. We over here working, can't spell hustle without STL.

:mjlol: u wrote a whole rant about saric not being able to carry the 76ers. He’s a role player of course he can’t carry them. Fultz is suppose to be the #3 player on the team, no saric.

He’s a stretch pf who plays his role, but he did carry them with scoring in the first round before embiid got back but how long do u expect a role player to do that.

Saric wasnt touted to be a role player. Fultz isnt even playing, so how do you figure he is supposed to be #3, just because he was the 1st pick??? how tf people were saying he was a candidate for ROY but now he just a role player. like I said, watch his ass disappear when Simmons/Embiid having bad games. so he was drafted 12th overall to be a role player huh? foh.

:hhh: People get drafted 12 and never be heard from again. U acted like he was top 5 pick. Even still they are role players most the time also.

He was considered Roy in the worse rookie class(cause Ben was out)

:hhh: This dude thinks every 12th pick has the expectations to lead a team and be a 20 point scorer. He don’t even have the skill set to really get his own shot that often

thats why I said he aint shyt. I didnt say he was supposed to be a superstar, but he is only worth a damn when the rest of the team is playing well. so you tell me regardless of where he was picked, it was to be a projected role player? you telling me they draft a guy in the lottery that they know wont play for at least 2 years because they expected him to be that? Saric was heavily hyped and right now, that is all he is, a very limited role player that hasnt shown ability to step up. like if this is so hard for you to understand, look at OG. he stepped up with 2 all stars were struggling. he has a good skill set and is versatile, not some Euro Cac that cant do shyt but hit an open 3. severely overrated and trash compared to a guy like Kuzma

Was just saying this, Tatum looking like he's gonna fill Paul Pierce void in Boston. Aggressive to the rim, especially in clutch time, good shooter, great off the ball hustle, explosion, and creates separation between him and defenders with ease, shares the ball and let's every body eat. Love it

These boys are going to give LeBron a good fight
They're going to get swept and then everyone is going to act like LeBron never had any competition, Brad Stevens is still a genius, if Kyrie were there it'd be different, etc., etc.

Bro saric carry them with scoring when embiid was out, he don’t even get the same type of looks with embiid tho. If we go to any draft it’s players u never even heard of. U think every lottery pick is projected to be a home run? Most are not drafting a player at 12 at worse u looking for them to be a solid rotational player and starter. And honestly they barely been letting saric play with embiid in the court

In The 2 games embiid didn’t play he had 20 and 23 points. Obviously his point and touches dropped
