Ben's take on ROY

[utahjazzz]

Simmons > Embiid > Mitchell

 

[RJF]

Yeah disagree.
I wonder what happens when the Cavs put Lebron at the five. Can Embiid really cover him?
Philly will one day (soon?) see lineups where Simmons guarding the 5 might be their best option.

Simmons has the highest ceiling of any player in the league imo. He is a top 20 player without a jump shot. And there is strong reason to believe he is developing one. He has taken a number of midrange shots since the AS break with mixed success.

He literally can guard 1-5.

Simmons> Embiid.

In fact, offensively, Simmons without Embiid is perhaps better for the sixers as it forces him to take more ownership and they run teams out of the building. Embiid's role could easily be replaced by Fultz who is able to get his own shot. Defense is where they miss him most.

We will see.

But remember, I am totally biased. I'm hoping Ben leads us Aussies to a medal in the next Olympics

How can you breathe with him (something something)? At least you’re an admitted homer...

So? I don't expect, or really want, pro athletes to be that modest.

Mitchell seems to be genuine in his personality, so I can't complain too much, but I'd personally prefer someone who **** talks more.

Ya, we should talk **** about Mitchell for not being a douche tbh

Just my opinion. I like trash talking.

The only reason Kidd and Hill shared the award was because during that time a bunch of dudes behind closed doors should decide who won the award, now it's a vote, so it would have to be a completely even vote. I don't see that happening.

He's an incredible talent but also a huge douche.

Can't wait until Donovan craps all over Philly in the 2020 NBA Finals.

2018 comes first ya idiot!! Unbelievable

Just my opinion. I like trash talking.

Joe "Dunk Life" Ingles does it without being a douche...

A lot of other fans think he is a douche.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Having a redshirt year due to medical surgery isn't that helpful, just ask Dante Exum.

Hell most sports let you play in your first year and still be a rookie the next season if you didn't reach a threshold of appearances. Tony Bradley would still be ROTY eligible next year if he played the same comparative time in the mlb or NHL

Both of those leagues have full blown, organized and developed minor league systems. NBA and NFL don’t.

I think Richard Jefferson put it very well.

Ben (if he stayed healthy last year) probably wins ROY last year - when he should have been eligible. And Dario Saric would have been his top competition, since I don’t think Embiid should’ve been eligible even if he had stayed healthy.

I think that it’s entirely reasonable to assume that a year with professional players, coaches and trainers better prepares you to be more productive in the NBA than coming out of college at any age.

C'mon Rub. You and I both know that Ingles is a total ****** when on the court. He is the definition of trash talking. That is how Aussies are though. Rough and dirty in the battle - meek and mild off the court. Simmons is more brash - like my perception of many elite US athletes, but like them - keeps it ice cool on the court.

Haven't you heard of a nose Dante?
