    A lot of people always see this as a massive advantage and while there are a few, people forget the fact that he and especially Embiid had to go through surgery with their foots and couldnt physically play and it would take them a while just to get into light training, while the legitimate rookies were all healthy and playing basketball. They were out of the game for a while.

    However I do believe was healthy before last season ended and Bryan Coleangelo who is anti-tank was subliminally but very obviously tanking after Embiid got hurt so he didnt play Simmons.

    d--- what a Lakers game, I've been happy with basically every game this year except that Clippers game..they compete every night even when they lose, good development already and they're fun to watch.

    They just controlled the game throughout against a good Pistons team, solid offensively and defensively. I'm going to the game @ Portland thursday night, can't wait.

    He was an all-star in his rookie year is what I'm saying. He's clearly the best rookie of the past decade if you want to use him as a measuring stick.

    Derrick Rose-2008
    Blake Griffin-2009
    Ben Simmons-2017

    Same general amount of time

    Blake averaged over 22 points and 12 rebounds in his rookie season. Very comparable to Simmons as they both sat our their 1st season. He'd definitely be up there as one of the best rookies in a long time.

    Larry Nance has impressed the h--- out of me this season. Dude looks like the Lakers best player at times. All hustle and winning plays.

    KD came out of Texas dropping 20 a game

    Rose led a lottery team to the playoffs and took the eventual champs to 7 games on his back

    Blake averaged 22/12. KAT averaged 18/10. AD was pretty great as well.

    Simmons is a stud but he isn't the best prospect of the decade and he definitely isn't gonna win MVP lol. Could see him being an all star since the East is weak af tho.

    Guys like him and Blake have a nice head start as rookies since they missed their entire 1st season. Simmons could've come back midway through last year but probably wanted all the ROY bonuses/accolades.

    blake? i'm like 99% sure he was an all-star his rookie year. 22 and 12 should've been at least.
