Sorry Jazz fans – Ben is the NBA Rookie of the Year

People seems to forget that Philly was tanking those years, any reference on Simmons's impact on the performance of the 76's is useless because they were losing games on purpose.

Not quite. The guys they chucked on the court were not losing intentionally. But granted most were not NBA calibre players so it's a moot point. I definitely wasn't implying he is worth 42 wins by himself :)
 
If Ben Simmons was on this Utah Jazz team, we would play an entirely different system in fact Ben Simmons would be the system, he is one of very few players who you can build a system around. Only other players in the league you would build your system around (not team, system) are Lebron, Westbrook and Giannis. You can build a team around a lot of players like Harden, Curry, Durant and Kawhi but they can fit into any system, its just a matter of finding the best system and players to suit their strengths. The reason Simmons is more likely to be successful like Lebron and unlike Giannis and Westbrook is he has a far greater IQ and is a better defender and he literally only needs a semi decent jump shot to become a higher IQ and better defensive player than Westbrook. Which is an insanely high level.
I think best case for Simmon's is Giannis.

You might eventually build something around Simmons but not right now.
 
We saw one clear advantage Mitchell has over Simmons tonight.
The only advantage he has over simmons is he is much much more selfish than Simmons. Balls not dropping and he still kept shooting. He is a selfish chucker.
10 from 26 field goals and 0 from 7 for 3s. Favours and Rubio were better players tonight.

^ This guy doesnt watch the Jazz and did not watch the game tonight.

Yes I.watched the match. He missed a simple.dunk
and missed all 7 3s. Also one of his layup.in the 4th quarter was cleanly blocked, but the ref gave him 2 three throws instead.

GTFOH

Yes he kept shooting... made several clutch shots... 13 in the 4th. 5 at the end of the third.

Not all NBA players can pass and defer the skilled work to others.
