Ben Simmons. A name in Philadelphia sports that generates more controversy than what you see at your average political debate. But what could one expect? After all, the 76ers committed a #1 overall pick and $180 million dollars to a guy who more or less can’t shoot a basketball.
Following an offseason of Instagram highlights showing off his new-look jumper, Simmons has still yet to attempt a regular-season NBA three. After an abysmal six-point performance in a loss to the Suns, the “trade Ben” critics are up and thriving. You can’t go more than 30 seconds on Twitter or Facebook without seeing a hypothetical trade package for the young point guard.
