Simmons is a special talent who's just 24 years old.
His only problem is lack of aggressiveness on the offensive end(which can be easily fixed).

WHEN HAS HE BEEN SHUT DOWN IN THE PLAYOFFS....
he was hurt last yr
and in 2019 him and Butler were the only two players who showed up against Toronto while Embiid was getting bullied by Marc Gasol
and in 2018 him and those European shooters were looking like Showtime lakers til Embiid cameback and got bullied by Al Horford...
Lets not look at numbers as the way justify his game if you don't watch the play....
Narrative talking has killed sports.....

His father is to blame. Ben is a natural righty and he broke his wrist before he got to the league. His pops then tells him to start shooting left handed and it will make him more “dangerous”. Now Ben is hamstrung because he’s not a natural lefty but he's too far gone to switch back to his natural right hand
He’s all fukked up

Chill man he was shut down in Raptors series in 2019 they backed off him and by the time the 4th quarter he was non-existent try again buddy.
it's true. casual know nothings shouldn't be this dead on the money about ben's development and it limiting the 76'ers as a whole. It's been a point of contention for three years now and I'm noticing his most passionate defenders don't show up in these threads as much anymore.
I made this post last year...nothing has changed since then and I said that with Butler on the squad

ben can't be your pg and third best player and make it out the east while he doesn't shoot at all. they won't make it out the second round this year , because they'll be playing the bucks/celtics/toronto.
it doesn't show during the regular season, except against good defensively sound teams (ex. celtics) but he is severely limited towards the end of games. and it will be especially true in the playoffs with teams having time and specifically game planning to beat you.
last year they ran through the heat on the back of some blazing hot 3 point shooting from bellinelli/illyasova/reddikk 2 of which are no longer on the team. before getting embarrassed by a non kyrie celtics
if ben even had a mid range game, they'd be dangerous, but as of right now and until ben gets some range they aren't a true threat in the east.
