Will Ben Simmons be in the NBA at 30 years of age?

[NatiboyB]

Low key I think Breh has quit he’s just going through the motions. Unless he decides he wants to play brother is just collecting a check. We’ve all had employees like this. Does just enough not to get fired.

Dudes confidence is shot considering his talent level it’s obvious dudes going through the motions. I’ve legit never seen this in basketball with a non shooter.

simmonds is the type of guy to avg 16/8/8 in his contract year in a few years, how he beat his mental demons and is back only to swindle another dumb team and resort back to this

Contract year Ben Simmons!

 

[VegetasHairline]

They was a top seed in the east before kd was injured , he would’ve found a role eventually with the team
If draymond could work I don’t see why Ben couldn’t work

Because even tho he's not a good shooter, Draymond will actually shoot the ball.

yup draymond although not great can nail a 15 foot jump shot or even the odd 3. Simmonds can't do either

 

[DaSk8D00D]

This is the right answer, he would be an amazing role player on a championship team just can’t ask him to do to much, Philly needed a number 2 that’s why that jimmy butler trade was important

Nah because he lacks what most role players have, HEART. Dude getting paid max contract money why shouldn’t he be asked to do too much?


Dude has been coddled his whole career at some point it’s on HIM to actually do something meaningful, not “he just needs the right situation”. Hes clearly scared to get fouled but won’t work his free throws, won’t shoot at all, and that whole holdout situation in Philly was scust


As a basketball fan I’d hope to see a talent like that play to their potential but at the end of the day this dude literally has 0 positive intangibles and his actual tangibles are trash now

Ben Simmons playing like a college player.

Passing up open looks n shyt

 

[feelosofer]

He lost all motivation once he got paid. He has no fire, no drive. He's making generational money just showing up.

 

[904Lurker]

Sean Marks gets off scott free in all of this.

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

- I really hope hes saving his money

- its a damn shame though. This guy is acting like kid gohan. All the potential in the world, but too scared/ dont give a damn

 

[BrehWyatt]

No.

He never loved the game of basketball. It just happened to be the thing he was naturally most good at and it brought him spoils on spoils.

No high-level athlete can be high-level if they don't love the game, the grind, some part of it.

pussies like ben simmons are gonna cost the future players many millions of dollars when the owners fight the players over guaranteed contracts in the next CBA. u can take that to the bank.

yup draymond although not great can nail a 15 foot jump shot or even the odd 3. Simmonds can't do either

also draymond isn't scared to take wide open 3 pointers. even tho he's terrible at it.

 

[FAH1223]

also draymond isn't scared to take wide open 3 pointers. even tho he's terrible at it.

Shooting 33% from 3. Not terrible but not good either.

 

[Pitentmf]

Can't feel sorry for him, he's arrogant AF.

You think so. Ben and Kyrie are the only ones that have this issue. I don't see them getting rid of guaranteed contracts, just adding more provisions.
