By far the most overrated player in the NBA. Philly absolutely has to trade him before his value plummets - if it hasn’t already.

A point guard getting hacked and taken out of the game because he can’t shoot fts :heh:
Don’t nobody want that nikka breh :mjlol:

the crowd was going wild when he made those two fts like he was a fukking child. This nikka is a pro bball player :heh:

No. Ben with a halfway decent offensive game = top 3 player in the sport. Without it doesn't = bust. It makes it harder to build around him yeah, but it is crazy that y'all would trade everything he's good at for a jumper.

Because scoring the ball>>>>everything that ben is good at.

He is an offensive liability for them. It's 4 on 5 in close games in the fourth quarter. This isn't even worth the discussion.

If he didn't need the ball to be effective, you can get away with it. Since he needs the ball, that caps what this team can do.

It's not just building around him. You saw the issue tonight - you better have a damn good backup point guard if your star PG can't have the ball at the end of tight games cause the other team just gonna intentionally foul.

That's a massive handicap. It ain't like a center who can't shoot cause center doesn't have to dominate the ball and pulling a center doesn't fukk up the whole flow of your crunchtime offense like pulling your PG does.

If he's going to play, he's got to be a center and play him like Draymond Green. You can't have a perimeter guy who is a complete liability more than 3 feet away from the rim on the court when it matters.

He also can't make FTs which is a huge issue.

nah b this wont cut it with him anymore, not at this point in his career

that wait till he gets a jumper shyt might have flew when he was in his first and second year but thats donezo

not when hes proven to be a literal liability in close games

he has no place on a competitor and the sixers got to get him gone to whatever team hasnt realized that yet
