Is it time to call Ben Simmons a bust? Poll Added

[TheGreatShowtime]

I knew he wasn't shyt when he couldn't take LSU to the NCAA tournament. I can't remember anyone who was hyped like he was not even making the tournament

 

[Phantum]

High caliber role player.

 

[lib123]

He could revive his career on a team like the Warriors. Watch him join the dubs and suddenly become a consistent shooter.

 

[Phantum]

He needs more motivation or something. They need to draft or get a good PG to make him sweat.

 

[Lakerman0834]

He ain't a bust he basically Lamar Odom or Darius Miles in a watered down league.

Don’t disrespect Odom like that . Odom in this era would be a sight to see

 

[Lakerman0834]

Far from a bust he has an obvious deficiency in his game though.

For a #1 pick he a underperformed. If he drafted at like 7 then would agree

 

[Consigliere]

Free throws are key for a guy who gets all his points near the rim. And Ben can’t even do that.

Time for Philly to move him for a more reliable ball handler.

not as hyped but fellow #1 overall pick Markelle Fultz went 9-22 in college and didnt make the tournament too (also busted in the league of course)

 

[Jmare007]

4 #1 picks have won a title with the team that drafted them, and they needed another #1 overall pick alongside them to do it. If the expectations of a #1 pick are that high, then failure is almost guaranteed. If the title is the goal, getting the #1 pick is the kiss of death unless you have 2 of them.

Breh you yourself admite you can't even build a team around Ben Simmons. What else is needed to call him a bust?

 

[Ziggiy]

Mitchell was the real Rookie Of The Year

That’s not what I said at all. Reread what you quoted

 

[UserNameless]

They're not a team built to engage in offensive shootouts, not just because of Ben, but also because the rest of the the team shrinks in big moments.

Maxey: played 1 minute (that's on doc)
MIlton: 1-5
Korkmaz: 2-7
Hill: 1-5

Tobias Harris (the highest paid player on the team): 2-11.

They have a bigger issue of not getting it done in big spots. They guys who usually aren't offensive liabilities on that team become such. That hurts them more.

Dont know how anyone thought this team was gonna make some noise . Got a Golden ticket to get to the ECF and about about to lose it . Doc ain’t it. Simmons ain’t it . Sixers ain’t it .

 

[tremonthustler1]

Put down the pipe

If he had an offensive game, what would be his flaw?

 

[Flight]

He’s not a bust..he’s just a disappointment. You can list his achievements all you want but everything he’s ever won or every accolade he’s received is because of his natural gifts. This nikka more passionate about Faze Clan than helping his own teammates.
