NBA money is different.

You should see Udonis Haslem's, or Dwight Howard's I think 35k square foot mansion. At least DH and Marion were all stars, Udonis at best was a "tough" talk **** to people guy and hit mid range jumpers. Mans has a lare
 
Shot looks rough including his free throw shooting. Careless with the ball, including bad reads, but this is probably due to them trying to develop him into a PG. Defensively pretty weak or it could just be an effort thing.

More so concerned with the shot.

Sounds like growing pains. If he has his head right and has the work ethic, the sky's the limit.

Bob Will been hooping lately. Interested to see how he fares against Embiid tomorrow.



Robert Williams used to be my blocks booty call in fantasy. Him along with Noel, I would pick them up if I need a block or two then drop them, would do it at least twice a week.
The moment I picked up Noel, Mitchell got injured so I traded Wall + Noel for Tobias Harris then I picked up Robert Williams and Coach decides to give him more minutes.

That being said, keep at it Time Lord!!!
 
Ben Simmons is a great defender. That goes without saying. Some think eye don’t care about defense.

but in the playoffs points are at a premium.

Exactly.

Which is why a lot of people get on Ben.

He doesn't have to score 30 or even 20 every night, just be assertive on offense, make yourself a threat, attack the rim, get to the FT line etc. to take some of the pressure off Embiid.

He seems to be going through the motions too much on offense.

Come playoff time I know what Embiid is gonna give me. Tobi while have a great season thus far, still has to show and prove in the playoffs.

Simmons can't be putting up 13PPG going against the Nets, because as great a defender he is, not he or anyone other great defender for that matter is gonna completely shut down an elite offense player like Myrie, Harden and KD.
 
He's a rookie, efficiency will come later with experience. Hopefully.
With him especially, I think everybody knew that he was going to be inefficient out of the gate. You were going to be OK with that.

I think what you wanted to see though is exactly what he's shown he's capable of. His strength and athleticism is truly in the elite tier of the entire league. When you combine that with a pretty good handle, he's getting you 20+ every night. Only a small percentage of guys in the league can say they are capable of doing that. With some shot selection and jumper refinement, he should pretty easily be a 25-30 PPG guy on better efficiency, and there's an even smaller percentage of dudes doing that.

Very deserving of being the #1 pick.
 
The Warriors just gotta embrace the tank for the rest of the season, they wasn’t gonna do any damage in the playoffs anyway
