Ben's got an inch on him. I bet Philly would trade that inch in height for Magic's offensive game.

Simmons is still a freak. Unreal iq, handles, and passing. Need to trade embiid and surround Simmons with world class shooters.

We knew what we were getting, don't act like his shooting abilities need to be talked about just now.
The dude has iq, passing, speed, and size with a ton of athleticism. There are few players like that in the NBA. I know Embiid is a beast and one of the best centers in the league, but sometimes you have to wonder who is a bigger asset.
Trade Embiid for a star wing and a decent center who isn't ball dominant, and the Sixers are the best team in the east. Crazy part about Simmons is that even without a shot currently, he is one of the best upcoming players in the nba...

I still like him if i'm starting a team. You can teach a guy to shoot. You can't teach a guy to be 6'10". You can teach his natural PG instinct either.

If there is something I learned the past two seasons is that in today´s NBA, point guards who do not have a good jumper are useless. They become predictable. You give them space and their passing options are limited which leads to turnovers, and if their only option is penetrating, the opponent´s big guys will be aware of it.
Until Ben Simmons, Lonzo Ball, Rusell Westbrook, and Co develop a decent jumpshot, they will be shit. Yes... kings of the statsheets with triple doubles and double doubles all the time; but absolute crap in the "invisible" tasks that do win championships.
Imagine for a second that Lillard had played for OKC or Philly... they´d be in the finals.
