He can have a role in the nba but he’s obviously not a star or even close to what he thinks he is. He sees the floor great but that’s about it.Comment -
Hopefully soon. Sickening how much money these guys make and don't give a damn about winning or losing or being able to shoot a free throw like you learn in grade school leaguesComment -
Philly management will get rid of Simmons for anything now the blow torch will be on them, wonder whats the best deal they can get nowComment -
Laker, u called it. Simmons is not too good.
One question:
*What is this guy's work ethic like?
The great players work on their game. Free throws and wide-open jumpers would be a start.
Does this guy hate to lose? Something was off w/ him, even going back to LSU days.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Being a one and done hurt the kidComment -
He should work 24/7 on his free throw shooting all summer now. Make it a #1 priority. If not his value will drop in the toilet fast like it is now. He even needs to shoot free throws in his sleep in this off season.

Funny that me and another AAU coach was arguing last week about Ben Simmons over Cade Cunningham. We saw Cade at AAU finals in Dallas 2 years ago. I think he's going to be a beast in the wide open NBA. The coach was saying that Simmons was one of the most NBA ready PGs ever. I was like, What? He can't even shoot a jump shot. I can't wait to see him and hear his explanation.

Put a basketball goal in his bedroom with an automatic ball return, so he can shoot while in his pajamas.

Just saw a few instances of him trying to shoot FTs (I usually just follow gamecast)
To me it looks like he isn't using his legs enough or not timing the actual shot with his legs. Using your base when shooting basically basketball 101. If you have to get power and finesse from your upper body you aren't going to be accurate.Comment -
he will get betterComment -
If he switches to center he is average at worst and does not hurt you with lack of shooting. But he can still be good I think.Comment -
Ty Lue was such a massive upgradeComment -
Mac, it's always interesting to hear a coach's view. See my notes above.Funny that me and another AAU coach was arguing last week about Ben Simmons over Cade Cunningham. We saw Cade at AAU finals in Dallas 2 years ago. I think he's going to be a beast in the wide open NBA. The coach was saying that Simmons was one of the most NBA ready PGs ever. I was like, What?

Does the guy hate to lose? The GREAT players learned from the failings early in their career. They come back improved:
1) Tim Duncan worked on his Free Throws. Cleaned up a glaring weakness in his game.
2) As good as Magic Johnson was in transition...he had shooting problems. Very similar to Simmons! Magic improved his FT% to 85+, and he added the 3-pointer to his repertoire.
3) Dirk Nowitzki had an unusual frame. A less-committed guy might have been muscled out by stronger players. Dirk worked incessantly on his step-back shooting, basically became the best-shooting 7-footer ever.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
only 24 years old relax if he ever learns to shoot watch outComment -
Who is there left to say that Doc is a good coach?Comment -
Ben :46
needs new settingComment -
If you're Rivers don't you have to resign? Wow. Pathetic.
No point in showing your face next year... team won't believe.Comment -
Danny Green wins the title every year if he did not get hurt they cruise it is a bad beat.Comment -
Good player but has a long way to go. Doesn't have many dribbling moves. Has the raw athleticism. He doesn't need a jump shot, but you need dribbling moves to take a guy to the hole. He should try and strive to be Penny Hardaway. That's about the best comparison I can give for him if he hits his peak in a few years.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Simmons is the poster child of what is wrong with the NBA... overhyped tall guy who can barely shoot who is overpaid and owed $140 million over the next 4 years. Do you really think he is going to work on his game with that kind of salary? Hell no. Spoiled, entitled and doesn’t give a damn. He openly admitted he didn’t work or go to class at LSU and if you recall, they weren’t great.
What are his signature moves? He has a club leg too. Imagine being owed $140 million over the next 4 years for being terrible at the few things that matters at your job... dribbling, moving and shooting. Sure, he can defend but you don’t get $140 million for that. He is childish out there with a dumb deer in headlights look. His post game interview total joke. The other guys know they can punk him and get in his head. His teammates want him gone. I promise.Comment -
Watch for a Wiggins for Simmons trade where he finally puts all the pieces together for curry and coComment -

He needs to attack more when inside the paintComment -
It's so hard to tell if Simmons will take this roasting and work on his game or say fukk it, I'm paid anyway??? Most of the kids today seem to blame everyone else and won't take individual responsibility. Hell, half the guys in the NBA today, don't lift weights. They don't see the need to work on their bodies and we wonder why so many are injured. Simmons has been told most of his life how special he is. He's had plenty of time to work on his jumper since LSU. He just doesn't seem to have that clutch gene. Also, being from Australia, basketball may not be his first love. I don't see him being determined/committed like Duncan, Magic and Dirk. He needs to prove the naysayers wrong and everyone is a naysayer today.
Bottom line, the Sixers have to trade him. He needs a fresh start and the Sixers definitely need a new start. Embiid threw him under the bus too.Comment
