Ben Simmons will be a bust!

[Imyremeshaw]

I see alot Billy Owens/Tim Thomas (without the shooting, better Passer and overall game) in Ben Simmons, guys that should dominate and show flashes but for some reason never put it all together. ....

At least Evan Turner have the work ethic and clutch at times. The knack on him is the lack of athleticism. Ben Simmons had it all minus the shooting

I can see a Dwight Howard and Carmelo career on this kid. Potential to be a GOAT but without a drive to be one.

I take the L on the decimal, and no you either are brought up with that toughness and develop it or you don't. This kid doesn't have "it" and i'll be sure to tell you I told you so.

He won't average anything above 16 his entire career...

When he is averaging 16 plus a game next season I will reopen this thread. You cat like being tough or not means you cant play or that it means you will not have success as a player. Dirk was considered soft for years and his career turned out pretty well.

This is such a low quality post.

Nothing is more low quality than the 76ers.

I think Simmons will be around 16 ppg, 8 rbs and 4 asts in his 1st year. He will be a stat stuffer in the NBA

He's to talented not to and his team will give him all the minutes and shots he wants.

I think he will average more then 4 assist he is a natural play maker and will have the ball all the time.

Maybe so Just going off what coach Brown said when talking about how he'll handle Ben in his 1st year.


He said he doesn't want the ball in his hands too much. And I still think the team will add a PG at some point to share possessions with Simmons.

Yes a player who averaged 12 rebounds a game in college averaging 8 in the NBA is such an outrageous assumption

playing center on a team with no rebounders vs players less physically mature

Nerlens Noel is frail af and averaged 8 rebounds a game two years in a row I'm sure Ben can do that at 6'10 and 240


And we really don't have any other rebounders either so

7'4 wingspan and solid technique

4 is a good number maybe 5 but not to many more than first season. I think Bron "only" averaged 5 assists a game his first season and Ben is not quite at that level as a passer. Plus they probably wont put that type of pressure on him to be the top scorer and assist maker of buck. They will find a guard somewhere cause I don't think they are gonna rock with Ish Smith all next season if they are serious about starting to win. He's a good backup but he shouldn't be starting for 82 games.
