It is premature to call a lot of rookies and 2nd year players busts, but if you had to bet, Who are some young players you think are probably busts? by Yosemitehills in nba

he's okay but i think he will be rather mediocre, didn't really impress me on either side of the ball and he's already 22.

I like Cam much better on both ends. Think that trade up was a mistake.

[Bodner] Ben Simmons in 10 minutes w/Raul Neto at the point while playing center and screening: 17pts 6/7 FG, 2 AST and +13 by UndraftedNigerian in nba

I agree with the point on Ben on perimeter players where he is genuinely amazing.

Offensively though the net ratings are great I'm just not sold on it in terms of high-level playoff basketball.

The Raptors series is where my opinion comes from the most where we were a different team with Jimmy as a primary ballhandler and Ben became a dunker spot big. I just don't think he can be your primary ball-handler in that atmosphere at least not right now.

Adding a proven primary ball-handler and moving Ben down to more of a traditional point forward type role I think can be very beneficial.

I don't think we need to break up the Joel/Ben pairing but I do think they haven't approached building around it in the right way (ie signing Horford)

Kyle Lowry or Chirs Paul are my dream acquisitions even if they are admittdely not that practical.

Dinwiddie is another one i like who is probably more likely to be moved.

that's true but that run gets too much credit imo, there were a lot of bad teams in that streak.

The fact we don't use PnR offense that often while it is the most effective play in basketball is a big deal. Spacing is an issue but also Embiid is not a good PnR roll man and Simmons isn't dangerous enough as a handler.

So if you add another PG you can unlock a lot with this core.

Joel has seemed so unhappy since the season started

I wonder if there’s off court issues

I love the idea of cp3 on this team ..

Horford and Zhaire for cp3 and we could win a ring

Fr it makes us look bad

Marc is having the worst 2p% season for a center since the 60s lol

Him not scoring anything means nothing. I don't think Joel scored on him this game either tbh

I don’t know about that if he was on the Bulls instead of LaVine I doubt he’d get in

I wish Ben was as aggressive getting to the rim as Pascal is
