Ben Simmons was an all star. Playing like doodoo this year
In b4, he’s playing out of his mind on defense
He's not playing like dodoo though lol. I mean the team has a lot of mouths to feed, the entire starting lineup is averaging between 14-22 PPG. Ben is just taking fewer shots per game than he ever has in his previous two seasons, he's taking the fewest shots per game among the starters. He's only taking 10.2 shots per game this season so far, where as he averaged 12.2 and 12.3 FGA per game in his first two seasons.
He's shooting a career high 57% from the field, averaging a career high 8.4 assists per game. Averaging 14.0 PPG, 8.4 APG, 7.0 RPG, 2.3 SPG.
But yes, defensively he's better than ever for sure. He wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to make a run for DPOY. Playing lock down defense, active as hell, and he's leading the NBA in steals per game as a 6'10'' point guard defending the opposing teams best players on a nightly basis.
