NBA 2018/19 Ben Simmons is ROTY. MEGA THREAD!

about to go into q4 needing only 1 rebound and 2 assists

If his team mates could shoot, he would have the triple double but looking doubtful now

They are going to be a great team but still a way to go.

Have to get the basics right

2-8 over the last 10 games

yuck

He will go way past it by seasons end. Ridiculous that he has had 4 already.

Great result for the heat, canā€™t wait to watch the highlights later.

Simmons winning ROY isnā€™t a fait accompli.

Mitchell/Kuzma/Tatum right on the level.

Kuzma is the business.

They are really not, they are all awesome donā€™t get me wrong, but none of them do it across the board like Simmons does. He is still on track to have the best rookie season since Oscar Robertson.

People are taking his 15/9/8 games for granted

Simmons 17.2 / 9.1 / 7.9

Mitchell 17.7 / 3.0 / 3.4

Kuzma 17.4 / 6.6 / 1.6

Tatum 13.8 / 5.7 / 1.4

Markannen 14.3 / 7.9 / 1.3

Thatā€™s a pretty big discrepancy - and heā€™s got the most impressive defensive stats of the class too.
Also keep in mind Simmons has probably been the best player on a team thatā€™s going to improve itā€™s record by maybe 15 or 20 wins from year to year. Itā€™s not quite a fait accompli but a lot would need to change.

Has he really been their best player? Better than Embiid?

Just slightly no. But the understanding those two have built in such a short time is amazing.

If the vote was now it would definitely be Ben.

Iā€™m just saying that those other guys are playing extremely well, particularly Mitchell. His last 10 games are like 24ppg at 50/40/90 levels and leading the team to win

A lot can change post-ASB. Rooks tend to get tired and drop off.

I was just looking at basketball reference stats http://bkref.com/tiny/UjdUU and then saw this article linked from 76ers fansite.

So itā€™s definitely not me taking notice of the other rookies recent play.

Itā€™s great that weā€™ve got a good rookie race.

Another day, another game where simmons teammates brick a handful of 3s in a row late in the 4th.

Benā€™s non jump shot is really becoming an issue.

They know he isnā€™t going to pull up for a jumper. So if they hold him off the paint they can pick off his pass.

donā€™t let ben see that opinion
