I mean he’s already 22 and spent an entire year getting NBA ready and receiving NBA level training due to his injury.

I don’t know if it’s a fair assessment in comparison to the others in this class.

He turned 21 in july breh..wtf is this 22 shyt?

But he missed the most important part of a rookie first year, actually playing
Agreed but your training and practicing with nba niqqas from day 1. Thats way better than playing an outdated system in college that doesnt push your talents

The people to that are saying markelle is a bust remind me of the people that was saying the same thing about Steph because of his glass ankles early in his career. Wait a few seconds first before y'all jump the gun.

This is thecoli breh. Fukk being logical and patient. Hot takes >>>>>>>*

It ain't even just the coli, I see people all over the net making early judgement calls on young players career which is foolish. I remember when everyone thought Tyreke Evans was the next goat and Steph curry was a average player all in one season.:snoop: I don't care which rookie balls out the most this season. Let me see how they stack up with each other 5 or 6 seasons from now.

Multiple people dapped this dumb shyt :russ:

Its so obvious most of yall dont understand the game beyond box score stats :dead:


Embiid anchors the defense and is the ONLY reliable option in the halfcourt but we talking about Bum Simmons :mjlol:

Can't believe I'm saying this but I agree 100% with you.

Laughable to say Simmons is anywhere close to Embiid.

Embiid is far and away the best and most valuable player on the Sixers.

Pretty much. He's the same age as Andrew Wiggins was last year when he averaged 23.6 PPG. I didn't see people doing back flips over that.

At 21 years old, a future NBA star like Ben Simmons should start looking like they will in the coming years. He's not the same as a 19 year old rookie like Jayson Tatum.

Wiggins only scored and did nothing else to effect the game even while playing with a big that shot 60 percent on high value. Switch him and Simmons and it’s a big difference in play.

Silly stat watchers. Wiggins brings you elite one on one scoring and man to man defense. His skill set while not sexy in this new analytics era is actually more valuable in the playoffs than Simmons style which fills the stat sheet but can't dominate a close game in the 4th quarter.

In close games in the playoffs during the clutch, its players like Wiggins that win you games and championships not players like Simmons.

Ben Simmons is a great #2 option to Joel Embiid. Andrew Wiggins is a #1 option on a championship team.
