Ben Simmons is what he is at this point.. his unwillingness to attempt jumpers is going to hinder not only his success, but the Sixers as a whole. He and Embiid are not an ideal duo despite their respective talents
It's frustrating, but also funny how much he is scrutinized.
A guy in his 3rd season playing at 23 years old gets All-NBA honors and is selected as an All-Defense 1st team selection and he still gets slammed for not being good enough. People expect a lot more from him, because he has the potential to reach a new level of but who knows if he'll ever hit that point. At this point him and Embiid produce well on the court together but you're right they're not an ideal duo because they both do so much of their damage in the paint.
Still a lot to go, and Doc gets a longer leash because they had no off-season run really and only two pre-season games. So we'll see how things look 10-15 games in.
