I dont want to dump on him but also if you think that's a great career then I dont know what to say either given the majority of basketball players don't even make the league i think its fair to call simmons, who had 4 high level seasons, great at basketball

Anyone who is on an NBA roster is ‘great at basketball’ if you compare them to the entire world instead of, say, Lebron James or Steph Curry or Dame

Ben Simmons isn’t On the Pantheon. He is not going to Basketball Vallhalla.

i am a moron posted:Ben Simmons, the guy who basically poo poo his pants in an elimination game and got so embarrassed his career ended is great. MJ is rolling in his giant bed And while sitting out a year due to being afraid to play basketball he’s somehow hosed[url=][/url] his back up so badly that he will probably be nothing more than a bench player for the rest of his career. Great his first two years then catastrophic I don’t think He ever could have been Draymond Green lite, because he was never a rim protector like Draymond, that versatility is what made Draymond incredible. Ben is still just a guy who can guard some perimeter players. Kevin Durant was the Nets rim protector in Lineups with Ben and no center this year Also original draymond before he got too beat up would take and make corner threes

Is there any chance the Clippers fall out and don't make the playoffs? I need the best odds possible for OKC draft picks this year.

BWV posted:I didn't really watch him too much on the Nets but did they ever figure out how to use him without him messing up the spacing? Because as good and solid as he is (16-8-8 etc), I don't know how you find success with him in a grind it out playoff series. I know Philly 2019 team probably could've won the title but that was a stacked team and they could (almost) afford having a pylon out there when Embiid and Butler were so good at scoring in the half court he was excellent for the nets in like.. november

It's possible but they only need 1 win to clinch the 9 spot and have the 10 spot wrapped up depending on tie breakers. http://www.playoffstatus.com/nba/westernwinmagicnumbers.html Of course they could lose the playin games I suppose.

I believe wholeheartedly that the philadelphia 76ers took great care of any medical or mental problems ben simmons may have had in his career, and that they’ve only wanted the best for him.

Simmons was great but then got the yips and that probably affects how seriously he was treating rehab. If you’re not interested in ball any more

Also they will definitely lose this next game to the Lakers, maybe the most important game they've ever played against the Lakers, which will be the first time they lose to the Lakers in a long time. They are anti-clutch.
