Had to ask....

[Ron Mexico]

A monster game by simmons against the knicks
20 pts, 22 rbs, 9 asts

It was a good first three quarters and then his team carried him to a win.

Here is what he did in the 4th quarter in a close game:
Ben Simmons makes driving dunk
Ben Simmons traveling
Ben Simmons assists
Ben Simmons shooting foul
Ben Simmons assists

2 points, 2 assists, and a turnover. Wow.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Simmon is a unicorn and there are only a few of them in the nba ~ Yannis, Davis, Lebron, Simmons. The 76ers would be foolish to trade Ben .

Umm... you clearly dont know what that term means. You have to be able to shoot a 3 to be a unicorn.

The 2018 playoffs say hello.

So u and everyone that liked this. Agree with me that Donovan hasn't been good this year except against those bad teams the jazz recently played.

Only a blind would not see improvement in Mitchell's game.

Over the last 5 games Mitchell has been a beast, prior I'm not sure many would agree with your take on his improvement, many comments have noted his poor shooting and 2nd year struggles.

As much as it's in fashion on these boards to bag Simmons, he's having a really strong second year. Call me blind if you must but I haven't seen any "plateau" to his game as you say.

Simmons carried the team in the first 3 quarters, his team mates stepped up in the last quarter. Don't see what is your problem with that.

Simmons is the only pg in the last 29 years to achieve a 20 pts, 20 rebounds double doubles. He is a monster.

Ben Simmons great player

Maybe this thread should be burned....? Or at least moved to general discussion.

Almost no Jazz related material being talked about in it

So you see improvement in his jumpshooting and free throw shooting? I do not. He already was good passer, defender and rebounder.

 

[Harambe]

awful ideas

What's his season 3pt%? Career? FT?

All I'm sayin, is if Philly's prioritizing Simmons over Butler, Butler's got a reason to complain.

Both have improved going off the numbers?. The comment was in response to you claiming has stalled in development in comparison Mitchell, who you said has improved so much in year 2 youd be blind to think otherwise.

Anyway enough Simmons vs Mitchell stuff it's quite boring for most I'm guessing.

Yep, just his usual way of doing things. That's why it's hard to play Simmons in close games in the 4th and especially in the playoffs.

His rebound numbers are nice. How many were contested rebounds? Is he leading the league again this year for most uncontested rebounds like last year?

Simmons is incredible. 59% TS now. 17 ppg. If he never got a rebound or dished an assist he'd be a really good NBA player.
