Welcome Simmons

[Negrodamus]

I could see Ben Simmons being a triple double average threat every year, but I don't expect him to ever really exceed the 15 ppg mark at any point in his career. I could be incredibly wrong, but he's never going to be a threat shooting the ball and that's fine. Everything else he offers (passing, rebounding, driving, versatility on both sides of the ball, etc) will be what makes him elite.

I bet he averages more than 15 ppg this year, and if players like Magic and Chris Paul can average 20 ppg, I do t know why Simmons couldn't.

You're more optimistic than I. I hope I'm wrong.

simmons is unguardable. I think he's 20ppg scorer in this league. maybe not this year but definitely next year

[aHealthy3]

I'm thinking something like 14/7/7 with maybe 3.5 TOs for his rookie year.

simmons is not a scorer. and its nothing wrong with it, because we have enough scorers. embiid will score a point or more per minute. fultz will score a lot. redick will score a lot with a lot of open 3's.

on another team without those teammates, yeah he prolly could average 20 ppg, but thats not the ideal way to use him anyway.

i think he will get 9+ apg with 12-15 ppg along with 7 boards.

Simmons was a scorer at LSU. He can be a great one in the NBA if he has a solid mid-ranged jumper.

Not sure how much he'll score as a rookie, but at his peak I think he'll average upward of 20ppg.

I see him in the high teens-low 20s in terms of PPG as career high averages. I'd be surprised if he's around 25-26 a game at anypoint but something like 19-11(rebounds)-7(assist) as a cap and being a triple double threat every night because I expect him to be a tremendous stat padder. Hopefully winning impact follows the stats because he will get stats no problem.

I wonder how many takes it took for him to make 9 straight lol.

He made 9 straight, tho, that's impressive in and of itself.

Shot looks better, smoother motion.

Yup. If Simmons can even be a 33% 3 point shooter that will be welcome. That will open up so much.

[WMDman]

thats what I like to see, if BS gets that three to fall at around 32% he could easily be a top 5 player

[Arsenal]

His shot looks much improved. If he can shoot halfway decently he'll be a monster.

[76ciology]

Point guard yesterday. Shooting guard today

[MR28]

I don't give a **** how many times it took to make 9 in a row. There's zero chance he was able to do that last year.

This is encouraging as ****.

[76ciology]

10th one is a miss right?

[USWAY]

You can tell he's extremely proud of the progress.

[ItsThatEasy]

Anybody can make 9 straight.

It's the form that you guys should be encouraged about, looks way better than it did when he first got to the league.

[LongLiveHinkie]

If Ben Simmons shoots like that in games.... which is an insanely big 'if' obviously, then he's going to be the 2nd best player in the NBA for a decade.

Behind Embiid.

[Sixersftw]

This is the sexiest thing i've ever seen.

I'll be in my bunk.
