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

[Joe Sixpack]

Another example of defense being a dirty word.


It’s amazing the standard that Ben Simmons is held to. I almost feel bad for him.

He was the #1 pick in the draft and there’s responsibilities that come with that. I love that he can defend but I need 20 from him. He needs to be putting up superstar numbers and he’s not

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

He can get to the rim whenever he wants and finish it’s annoying

He’s 24

He just signed a 5 year $167 million dollar contract

He’s set for life


He doesn’t have to change a thing

They were a Kawhi bucket away from taking down the eventual champs that, so that isn’t true. Just some hater join the club

 

[AJtheOne]

And not a got dayum lie was told here

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

 

[mastermind]

He is a limited offensive player but I’m appreciating him more now than in the past. I think he could be the best player on a title team if the offense had an elite scorer.

I think he would fit great with a Kyrie.

 

[Killer Instinct]

Thats real. The lifestyle is the allure for him and thats fine, but I'd never hinge my franchises fate on a guy like that. The only thing worse than being flat out untalented on the pro level is being a talented underachiever. I have no idea how anyone outside of Pennsylvania can root for that.

Holy shyt my memory getting bad as I get older. I honestly thought that was game 6. Damn I must be

 

[levitate]

Is he lying? Simmons is a goddamn liability, his defense be damned. He'd have to be Ben Wallace crossed with Mutombo and Tim Duncan on Defense to warrant that pusillanimity on offense.

Hmmm, I learned a new word today...

 

[Peter Popoff]

Would trade Payton and Randle for him.

 

[Dwight Howard]

He is a limited offensive player but I’m appreciating him more now than in the past. I think he could be the best player on a title team if the offense had an elite scorer.

I think he would fit great with a Kyrie.

I'm pretty sure Joel embiid would fall into that category

 

[DoubleClutch]

I mean he still can’t shoot after how many years?

If he wasn’t 6’10 he wouldn’t be in the nba

 

[NatiboyB]

Ben Simmons should be in attack mode when he wants to get to the paint no one can stop him. It’s kind of like Giannis. But once they collapse he can pass it...problem is with Giannis he would at least shoot it.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Absolutely hilarious that Fultz got all the attention as far as what is wrong with him but Benjamin is entering year 5 with no discernible offensive game. And now Philly stuck with him since the rest of the league has finally realized hes a giant Andre Miller with no perimeter game. I feel for Embiid come playoff time watching him struggle cause Harris shooting 20% and Ben is just a huge liability. Hopefully Maxey is a revelation
