Ben Simmons

[crudebar]

Ben still scoring 2 points a game but now is also barely playing, finally!

His NBA career looks close to being over. Wonder if he will go overseas when his contract is up after 2 more seasons---will he still be afraid of the ball/basket there also?

It's funny looking back. Just around 3 years ago when philly was starting to think Embiid and Simmons wasn't working that A LOT of people, even maybe the majority thought you should trade Embiid because Simmons had such a unique skill set that wouldn't be able to be duplicated.

Ben Simmons has quit completely

Early on weren't they foolishly comparing him to lebron?

That dude probably is quietly some world class violin player...

he doesn't give 2 shits about basketball. Pay me 40 million a year and I will pretend to care too.

Yep and even if he gets cut loose some other stupid team will sign him and pay him that kind of money again

No. He is around a minimum contract player at best now.

He is afraid to shoot. His rebounding is no longer very good. Still a good passer. Even his defense has fallen off.

Just have never seen a guy at this age and without a major injury just collapse into himself.

He got the big contract he got the fame and women. He really really doesn't want to be on a basketball court any longer.

To see an all-nba player and three time all-star quickly u-turn into a #1 pick bust has been astonishing to see----and for no real reason.

Gentle Ben got 20 min tonight. Took his usual 2 shots and scored 2 points.

I think common comparison was Draymond Green with a bit more athleticism/less field general skills

Now I think we can start comparing him to Kwame Brown

 

[Avocado33]

Usually I’m not a big believer in guys tailing off when they get that big contract

But man, Ben is the poster child for that

Tried to reserve judgment, but can defend him now
