Does Ben Simmons Still Sign 5Yr/170 Million?

Once he gets the bag he will get even worse as a player. You can tell he is the type of player who gets the bag and stops trying not that he tried much in the first place.

He will shoot 40-50% from the line once he gets the bag, maybe 60% if lucky.

hes a career 60% shooter. not sure why hate ball was trashed as 40% ft shooter and hes shooting 80%.
ft is the most overrated part of the game. he has good form all he needs is become good at midrange like derozan.

its all mental. if he was given franchise player treatment in a new team, he would be shooting 65%, 30% from deep by the time of his next contract and those are conservative estimates.

He has **** AWFUL form. His hands are on like both sides of the ball.

Like what are you even looking at? Either you are Ben’s family, or you have absolutely no clue what a decent shooting form looks like. The way he holds the ball is completelt awkward and wrong, and the proof is in the pudding. The elbow on his off hand is straighter and more in line than the shooting hand . It couldn’t be more wrong lol.

Agree about the #2 option part and his salary, but he’s got some Bam and Draymond in him. Those players generally help you win in the playoffs without being big scorers. They’re important cogs. And teams often pay 3 guys max or close to the max when they’re trying to win the title.

We’re in a situation where offensive production has not met expectations for Ben and everyone is grossly overreacting on how bad he is right now. He deserves lots of criticism for the recent playoffs and his lack of offensive development, but he’s still a very good NBA player even if nothing changes. And again, people seem to have written off any chance that he will improve. I gotta figure his ego is talking to him right now and he knows something has to change.

If you shoot 38% from the ft line and cost your team the series you aren’t worth anything

Shaq, Wilt, Russell. All top 10 players of all time. All worse FT shooters then Ben Simmons. One season Wilt shot 38.8% during the entire playoffs and his team won the title.

Also, Ben shot 61% in the regular season but you decided to cherry pick his worst 7 game stretch. Seems a tad bit biased on the sample size dont't ya think?

But sure, whatever you say.

Those were the games that mattered. Hack a Ben was the only reason the Hawks were able to get back into game 5 after they were getting blown out.

He already had problems like not being able to shoot, and shooting 61% from ft line. Pooping the bed and costing his team a playoff series was just the icing on the cake.

Those kind of problems is not what you want from a max salary guy.
