    I like Dennis Smith, too.

    Josh Jackson will be pretty good, as well.

    Did Ben Simmons have a good preseason?

    Most things don't live up to the hype, so I would be happy with 10-7-6 type numbers. I'd be interested in someone hanging a line on Kuzma for ROY. That kid looks really nice.

    The kid does look good. I'm hearing he's already passed Ingram.

    I think the Lakers are going to suck though. It's a shooters league nowadays, and they don't have any shooters.

    Ben Simmons is a prikball. I would love to fade and take Field (-150) vs Ben.

    No reason to tie up a grand on a +150 future but good luck.

    I only use locals anymore. So for future bets like this there is no money tied up. We'll just square up after the season either way

    I like to think I'm fairly sharp and I don't mind messing around on futures. If you're betting decent-sized longshots it's possible to have a >25% ROI on an individual bet.

    I'd stay far away from this though. LOL. I wonder if any rookie in the last 20 years other than Tim Duncan or LeBron James would have been +EV at +150.

    This is true. If health was guaranteed I'd consider this bet at much worse odds.

    I agree that he will have a good year as well. But Simmons usage rate will be through the roof. As a rookie the kid should flirt with triple doubles on the regular

    Pretty obvious that Ben Simmons is already a near All Star calliber player

    All these other children aren't close

    Dennis Smith? Lonzo Ball?

    Lol.

    Simmons might literally be an all star this year.

    you live in philly area, right?

    since your guy does not require post up for season long futures a bunch of philly homers are probably slamming this bet with no idea of what a proper price is so he is just taking their money

    You can get +300

    Im seeing +150 on offshore books right now like Bovada. Im sure there are some better numbers out there though if you look around. Tough to get as good of lines with locals, but if they dont require you to post up its well worth it even with slightly worse odds imo

    Yeah the fact that you don't have to post up makes a big difference. Bookmaker has it at +302 or something and BOL has +225 but you gotta post up. Good luck on the bet.

    I would say De'Aaron Fox, but I don't think the Kings are going to play him 35 minutes a game (probably less than 30), where Ben Simmons will probably be playing 35+ minutes a game, so Ben will be putting up bigger numbers.

    This can be said for any bet.

    He's back to 100%. One freak injury doesn't make him injury prone. If this bet was on embiid then it would be a different story.
