Definitely not a bust but definitely not a star player you can build a team around. Cause even if you build around him it's going to kill the team in crunch time because he can't be the main facilitator due to his free throw issues. He's a high a star role player like a Draymond where you better have some great firepower around him to properly utilize him. Having him in a pick and roll offense with a star guard like a Dame or Steph that warrants traps would make Simmons deadly. Philly just doesn't have that star guard to really open the floor up for Simmons.
He’s only a star because he was drafted #1

he’s a bust. If Ben Simmons isn’t a bust then what is one?

Morey might have to keep him another year to build up his value. He’s been that bad in these playoffs..

That is a bust

and underperform is being nice

he should’ve been benched last night.
Dude is a multiple time all star made an all nba team multiple all defensive teams. That's not a bust. Now if he was on some Anthony Bennett or Kwame Brown shyt that's a bust. Cut the bullshyt.

Build up what value? Motet will have no choice but to trade him away for cheap .. Morey had his chance getting Lowery with a Ben package and he fumbled the bag

76ers could have got lowry for Maxey, Thybulle and like a second rounder


strike why the iron is hot, the way the nba is now with all these injuries philly would have prob been on their way to a title with lowry

ah well guess a title is not that important :mjlit:

Dude was always trash.

I feel that everyone talks up his defense while simultaneously ignoring the negative impact his inability and unwillingness to shoot outside of the restricted area has on his team offensively. It makes life so much harder for everyone else in a half court set because they know Ben can't do anything outside the paint.

Even Doc had to stop caping for buddy after last night

A bust is someone like Anthony Bennett that's out of the league within a few years. A bust is someone that's a bench player a few years into their career. People act like everything is star/bust with no in between online. No he didn't live up to his hype but he's still made multiple all star teams. In no way is that a bust.

Honestly he’s just another kwame. Good at defense and nothing else. Just has klutch machine and dating models

Isn’t Fultz a bust as well?

I said it years ago that the Sixers should trade Ben.
