We need to be happy they are asking who's the man on the team. Nobody is asking who's the man between Ingram and Lonzo. :lol:

more like who's the man between Lavar and Magic :lol:

He's averaging a triple double against the Bulls, might as well stick a 3 in there.

Star players just tend to figure things out.

Ben must take that ROY award. He seems better every night. Saved our ass vs. Bulls.

Ben just scored 32 points without a jumpshot, but no, Donovan Mitchell is still the better scorer. OK!

ben has been great, the only thing stopping him from being a superstar is him... his mind set has to ALWAYS be in attack and make things happen mode

when he goes through those stretches where he just defers and runs to a corner, we suffer.. when he relentlessly attacks and gets in the paint to either score or dish is where he is truly great... I just hope he realizes that and plays that way every game

I think you guys are judging Ben too fast. He's in his rookie year, and he's our leader (with Jojo). It's not usual. Rookie years are tough and Ben's rookie year is amazing so far. There are some things he must improve, like his jumpshot, but he'll work hard on the coming off-season and will get better for next season.

I don't think anyone's being hard on Ben. I feel safe speaking for most Sixer's fans in saying that he's blown the doors off of our lofty expectations. He's got top 10 player in the league written all over him.

guess he's going to stay left-handed. if he can splash those 3s during the game, it's scary what he'll do to anybody who has to cover him out to the perimeter.

He's quite incredible really.

Didn't expect such a well-rounded player this early.

He is going to be every bit as good as embiid, possibly even better.

Philly are set and I'm jelly as f

That no look pass that fooled the entire building to embiid against the bulls was ridiculous.

he is a very special player

The All-Star game snub has motivated Ben. He will be back next year with a jumper. And while he will still be a facilitator first and a scorer second... the gravity he will create on the floor will make him virtually unstoppable. And the Sixers offense will be ultra efficient to boot.

Small sample size

Last 9 games (since Belinelli played)
Ben Simmons
Oncourt 116ORtg Offcourt 95ORtg
Sixers plays worst when he’s off court (-8NetRtg)

Big change in line-up is we play with Beli with Ben’s 2nd unit, Beli replaced TJ’s place (Beli,Ben,Roco,Dario and Amir). And that Ben’s 2nd unit is not a negative anymore.

as a fan, i get very uncomfortable when ben isn't on the floor. ben's supreme confidence oozes out of him, he plays at his own pace, and the defenses have to catch up. the guy's special

Dell Curry last night said he reminded him of Magic Johnson with a belly full of vitamins. That is some insane praise. Maybe we can hire him to teach him how to shoot like his kids.
