    lmao the author so salty :')

    Anyway, it's not an unpopular opinion that Ben Simmons is gonna be amazing. He's the greatest prospect since KD. What I think more people should be talking about is the fact that the Sixers will also have Dario Saric and Joel Embiid back this year. They have amazing young talent.

    Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers have only played 2 summer league games in Las Vegas, but already Ben Simmons has shown he is going to be a star.

    In the 2 games in the Las Vegas summer league, Ben Simmons has simply dominated. In the first game against the Los Angeles Lakers, he scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. His passing ability appeared to be incredible, always seemed to find an open man. Showed great court vision and was able to deliver the ball on a platter to his teammates, who did not cash in on all of his dimes. He was also able to make many crafty and mind-boggling passes whether it was driving and kicking it out or a pass to a cutter.



    Just look at this incredible pass to Timothe Luwawe-Carabot, not many 6'10" forwards can make that pass.

    In the 2nd summer league game against the Chicago Bulls, Simmons had another outstanding performance. Simmons had 18 points 7-13 from the field and 4-5 from the line, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. Even though it does not appear as an all around good game from Simmons it was, had many passes to assists and had many great passes that helped other players get open looks. He also proved that he can and will grow as a jump shooter, the Bulls basically dared Simmons to s---t and he did just that (7-13FG). Including a 4th quarter surge in which he had 8 points on 4-6 shooting from the field the last 5 minutes. Including this dunk where he drove right past his defender with ease and finished with the slam.



    After the game Bulls guard, Denzel Valentine said: "He's like a mini-Lebron".



    Even though it is just the Las Vegas summer league, Ben Simmons is showing why he was the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft and why he is going to be a superstar.

    Bron's jumper never came so I'm not sure Simmons will ever get it, but the rest of his game is really good. I'm curious to see how he'll do on defense against other PFs.

    Ingram is going to be the elite scorer. Simmons is going to have a Rondo type stat line, 8-12 pts/12 assists/8 rebounds
