this is what I said, not only is Simmons the better athlete at 7 ft, but his passes actually splits defenses like Magic, something Lonzo doesn't do at a high level because he doesn't penetrate as well. His speed going one direction is top notch but lateral quickness is lacking which is the one reason he's not too effective in the pnr. D'Lo doesn't have great lateral quickness but he can shoot and I feel his jumper in going to be elite this years.

If Simmons doesn't learn to shoot or finish then he becomes a liability with the ball in his hands at the usage the Sixers conceptualize.

real talk, dude is from my state. I am a UNC homer. I wanted him to sign so bad with the Heels. when he played at Duke he was ok, but then I wasnt really as impressed with him as I was when he was in HS. I didnt see all the NBA superstar hype. Then he gets drafted. Underwhelmed. People still believe in him. Who knows. He could be a star. I just havent been feeling it though. Not sure if he will be better than Otto. :yeshrug:

well, I didn't say this year. They just gotta surround him with shooters for now. It's not like Lonzo has proven to be a nba shooter so far. So if we take away their weaknesses, Simmons is by far the better player right now

His shooting needs to get better but shooting never stopped Rondo and Wall from doing what they do. Sixers could have really benefitted signing Kyle Lowry.

You can tell who's gonna be a bum in their rookie season, ain't no let's wait and see. Superstars come into the league and bring it to vets straight away, specially small forwards.

Ingram is a bum, he isn't good at anything, he'll be lucky to be as good as Jeff Green in his prime, without the athleticism.

HE BEEN DISAPPOINTING IN THE PRESEASON THUS FAR, BUT HE SHOWED MAD POTENTIAL SECOND HALF OF LAST SEASON.

HIS PROBLEM IS THAT HE'S PLAYIN WIT NO CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW, PROLLY HAS SOMETHIN TO DO WIT THE PRESSURE MAGIC PUT ON HIM "WE EXPECT 20 PPG"

HE'LL BE ALRIGHT.

He ain't even that skilled, he's a freak athlete, Ingram isn't and won't be, he's slow as fukk and he doesn't have the passion, also Giannis came from europe.
