Simmons game has not progressed enough to make us a contender. He's a good third option the way Chris Bosh or Kevin Love we need a number two option which is what Harden can be. You are given Harden a situation with a real championship coach and a true dominant center two things he has not had in the past. He game will only elevate and so will Embiid's. He feeds off of that energy. We can't be content because a player takes 1 three pointer in the first five games. Dwight Howard (back up center) has as many three pointers as your starting point guard.
Great win but the Sixers have to pull the trigger if they want to compete for a title. Teams will let Ben run all day come crunch time he fades into the back. He doesn't even bring the ball up the court when its.less than 3 mins on the clock afraid he will have to shoot free throws. What good is a basketball player that can't shoot? Vs one that may be one of the all time greatest scorers in the league.
Simmons will never be considered one of the top 5 players in the league nor will he ever be in consideration as league MVP candidate.
