I went to University of Houston to see Ben Simmons play back in 2015 when he was at LSU. The hype was so high that me and my bro went to check him out. Never been more disappointed in a top prospect in my life. He looked like he didn't even want to be there, and wasn't even impactful tbh. That was a early sign that he just aint a competitor like that. Only thing that was impressive was his frame and size. Dude was definitely born to play in the NBA from a physical talent standpoint.

Sidenote its hilarious how media hypes up a new prospect and call them the "most hyped prospect since..." whoever is good. Because they never bring up Ben Simmons, Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins etc.. ESPN and other outlets all hyped these guys up just like Wemby, Zion, and Cooper. Those dudes just didn't pan out. Jay Bilias was super high on Ben Simmons a year before he was even drafted.

Simmons was different at LSU. Dude was taking plenty of jumpers.
Idk if I blame Philly staff or their players, but something happened along the way that sent everything downhill.
This situation and Fultz happening within the same franchise is bizarre

Same org saw Maxey and Embiid expand their games. Fultz got hurt. Simmons got paid. Organization has nothing to gain by limiting a player they’ve invested millions into. especially a city like phillyy

I think the "process" was pretty well done, just didn't work out for whatever reason. "FEDS" should have been a decent young core.

There are situations where trainers/coaching staff that try to fix broken jumpers or tell players not to shoot and break the players jumper even more. Dudes start shooting with the opposite hand listening to these "trainers"
Hard to put it all on Simmons to completely decide not to take a jumper ever again. Mentally screwed himself, but feel like there was some influence there
Then there's that whole Zhaire Smith situation

Examples of trainers/coaches actively tricking off a player? Players switching hands and getting worse?
Zhaire had a nut allergy. Lost 40 pounds. He hasnt been able to stick because he probably wasn’t that good in the first place.
