I apologize for having expectations for a #1 overall pick. James Harden is averaging 25 & 11... That is AT minimum 47 points a night. But we should throw a parade for Ben Simmons off one night.
Make it make sense.

The Lakers are going to recycle their 2015 Hollywood pitch to Aldridge.
I’m surprised the Nets are not pitching Drummond but are pitching Aldridge instead.

Philly wins and the same dudes come in doing damage control for Ben and his lack of production. It's cool. Playoffs soon come and when the paint has 7 different colored jerseys in it and Embiid can't breathe/see, we'll all get a glance at how incredible the Ben Simmons effect is.

Why are you having larger expectations when you and plenty other have said numerous times that he’s “the same player from HS on offense ”. If he’s the same guy, why are you expecting anything different from him?

Not sure why y’all flip this like this when he’s an all star. It’s different expectations.

said, 41 points created including 10 3s is cute but he still accounted for up to THIRTEEN lost possessions with his missed shots and turnovers. 12 assists and 7 turnovers is not good, man

alluded to, y’all call him Big Dray which again is cute bite Draymond Green was the 5th pick....of the second round. Benjamin was the #1 overall in his draft. Different expectations.Edit: He posted while I was typing but

recognizes the difference in expectation too. You beat the Lakers without LeBron and AD. A G-League team. Relax.

How are people still litigating what Ben Simmons is/isn't? No actual basketball people (coaches, players, etc) question his impact on games and how good he is. Only weirdo fans who think averaging 20+ is the benchmark for a good player.

If Westbrook /harden put those numbers they be clowned but when Simmons does it oh it’s not a problem he’s not a scorer .

Well the first falsehood in your post is that NO ONE has said he needs to average 20+. Second, NO ONE has said he doesn’t positively impact the game. What has been stated is that unwillingness to shoot as well as come off ball more has a negative impact come playoff time. It’s fine if he isn’t that and this is his ceiling but that also limits the Sixers ceiling as constructed.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Figured this would come as ALWAYS.
i dont give a rats *** who we beat with or without when i am betting. I won money thats all i care about
yall call sixers trash everyday and we dont got embiid YET we still winning with our guys “you cant trust”

THEY bring up the 6ers every morning and then get mad when we talk about them.

His non-shooting limits the Sixers as much as Harden's lack of defense impacts the Nets, or Lebron's lack of free throw shooting impacts the Lakers. But in Ben's case, it goes past being a deficiency like in those other players' cases and becomes an indictment on him as a player. The caliber of player that he is.
Sure, your point makes total sense. But look around...what you said in the quoted and what is generally said about Ben Simmons are not the same.
ALSO...averaging 20+ is implied by most people who say he doesn't shoot. It has nothing to do with "spreading the floor". People want him to be "Lebron-lite" as someone said.
