The 76ers can't make a deal to get rid of Ben Simmons.

6. Simmons doesn't know how he was blessed. At 6'10"...

and athletic ability, he could've been special. IMO he's lazy and didn't work on scoring. At that height and able to move and dribble, he could be dominating as a forward. His quickness and long first step will get him past most and give him a path to the rim where he can then lay it up, dunk it, or pass it off as he's a good passer.

He plays the wrong position. Dr. J, the Sixer great, was not a great shooter but was a great scorer with his dunks and moves to the hoop. Simmons should've modeled his game on someone like the Doctor.

If he had grown up in the US and played high school and playground ball, he would've been played in his natural position, a forward/center. as he would've been one of the tallest guys on the court on most teams. Other guys would've been the guards.

It's probably too late now to change but it's pretty obvious he's shouldn't be playing guard. But he should at least work on his shooting.
