Siakam's motor is what makes him better than Ben.

Siakim has the potential to definitively pass Simmons, but I think Simmons has a higher ceiling now whether he reaches that ceiling is a whole other conversation.

If Simmons developed any type of offensive game outside of passing this wouldn't even be a conversation.

Right now I got them about even with Pascal getting the slight edge because he's much scappier than Simmons.

nikkas talking about potential to pass Simmons

Siakim is light years better and already NBA champ and locked that nikka up this post season

It’s honestly not even close and absolutely disgraceful that these two are even being compared by nikkas. Ben is fukking trash currently and has a lot of work to do this summer. The man is not a threat at all on the basketball court for someone who’s apparently so good.

I think Siakam is a more versatile defender

But he's prone to making bone-headed mistakes
yeah Simmons played decent against Kawhi, made it tough, so I wanted to give him some respect. I think Ben is better against guards, but you can throw Siakam on 1-5 and live with it.

Right now they are not even lol

Simmons can always develop parts of his game and make this a debate again but right now Siakam is by far the better player.

Nikka had 26/10 in a close out game for the title including some big shots down the stretch and dudes talmbout even GTFO...

Siakam is way ahead of him. It's not even close anymore. Dude dropped 30+ points in game 1 of the finals shooting 80%. The only thing Ben has on him is his passing and age. He is 3 years younger so you hope that in 3 years Ben could develop enough of a jumper forcing defenders to guard him outside the key.

only two years older actually, pascal was born in 94, simmons 96

and just for measure, simmons been playing basketball since he was 7, siakam only when he was 16
