People don't want to admit to shyt on him but after the back injury he is nowhere near the same player.

His explosiveness is gone and he had no outside shot to begin with so this is what you end up with now.
Doesn’t change the fact that here’s absolutely scared to shoot … injury or no injury…

Tired of hearing this excuse. He still hasn't worked on his jumper. Even without the same explosiveness, he could be impactful as a shooter, rebounder and passer. He does not fukking care at all.

How many times have we seen this? Plenty of people were legends in college. Pat Bev retarded ass was averaging something like 37ppg in HS
nobody was drafting pat bev #1 overall. Pat Bev wasn't doing open runs with Lebron & Anthony Davis as a HS senior. Ben dominated EVERYONE in HS. His 10th grade year he was hooping with the 5 star seniors. Also he was a star at Montverde, not rinky dink high like Pat Bev

You can be a beast in HS/College by being physically imposing and by having an athletic advantage. Doesn't work when you get into the NBA, and especially in the playoffs
Naw, Ain't too many 6'8th 10th grades his size that can dribble, run the court, and play D like him. And his shot was nothing like this. He could flat out play. He looks like he just never worked on his jumper since then

The Ben Simmons that we saw his rookie season was the same Ben Simmons we saw his last healthy season before injuries. On offense he ain't improved on not one damn thing since he got in the league even his numbers are percent from his rookie season to his best season damn near identical. Now defensively he did improve and become elite at one point but on offense that nikka ain't done shyt to improve his game.
