NBA Exec shyts on Ben Simmons: “He’s the same player today as he was in his rookie year.”

This will be a pivotal postseason.

He ain't wrong. You can tell he got paid and mailed it in as far as development. He is more worried about chasing hoes. A real ball player would have worked on getting some type of shot.

But hes 6 10, plays good defense and can pass.

And scored two points in a playoff game. I remember when that happened and I was thinking "Maybe he's not that good".

 

[Reggie]

At the least he could have a 15-18 foot jumper at this point to keep the defense honest. I personally wouldn't expect him to ever shoot more then 2 or 3 3's a game but he doesn't even want to reach that level of consistency. Most players at this point in their careers would have showed some type of commitment to getting better but Ben seems happy being what he is.

Dude doesn’t work on his game. Some guys love ball, some guys love what ball brings them. He exposed himself just off the 3 point shoot alone.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

That's why I don't trip when people call him overrated.

I don't think he's overrated. I just think he is who he is. But people tend to throw out his defensive prowess a lil too casually to try to overcompensate for the fact that he's not that good of an offensive player.

Unfortunately, we've yet to figure out if that's truly the case as the dude doesn't even put forth the effort and try. I think people would respect him more if he at least tried to add a 3pt or jumpshot to his game and failed rather than him barely try at all.

Damn seems like the exec was right

 

[Patrick Kane]

Man wasn’t even on the floor down the stretch

You can’t be a key player scoring 8 points and being on the bench the last 20 seconds of the game

Simmons is fine. The league is too caught up on chuckers.

This nikka is a fukking BUM.
