Simmons going to average triple double.

I agree that Fultz will turn out fine; his stock has been hit by the (stupid) decision to continue to play him during his shoulder injury.

Fultz will be fine, that shoulder injury hampered him down a lot clearly.

Okafor would be a hall of famer if it was the 90s. But when you can't stretch the floor, defend the pick and roll, be a rim protector or dominate the glass, he's just not worth it in this day and age. He's a volume post scorer, which is just too inefficient when you stack it up with his other glaring deficiencies.

Looking like the top 3 draft picks should have been Tatum, markkanen and Kuzma.

Such a shame Fultz seems to be a dud.

Imagine if Fultz and Okafur were having impact. Can't believe Okafur is rumoured to be worth second round pick, whoever gets him will get maybe a bargain, Celtics circling, would be good for nets too.
But long season to average triple double.

And him and Embiid are both franchise players.

Between Simmons and Giannis and Embiid NBA is like a video game. Like who are all these 6'10+ guys who can dribble, move and pass like this. Is ridiculous

Wilt and Wes Unseld were the only rookies who won MVP.

Thanks, 2k trivia

How effortless does it look when Simmons plays? So smooth!

Has a rookie ever won MVP?

He looks like a lock for Rookie of the Year at the moment. What will be interesting will be if he can come into MVP contention. Not in the top 15 at present so will be a huge climb but the potential is there.

it's very possible that he will end the season
20/10/10.
He is very close now with 19/10/8.

He's actually a descent shooter, absolute crap that people latch on to the media.
Ain't as bad as people say it is. Same with antetokoumpo.

Just like lonzo ball. Daddy has hyped him and he ain't even a top 6 rookie atm and is getting all the media attention.

He won't average a trip-doub simply because it's only been done twice in history. First time someone will get near averaging a trip-doub for someone who can't shoot yeah that's some achievement

I think he'll end up averaging 19/9/7 this season.

JJ Redick says 'Yes I will'

He could average a trip dub but whether he does or not is as much down to his teammates as him. You know he will deliver the ball. Will they hit the shots?

He's a slightly poor man's LeBron which is still a top 20-30 all timer

Ive long thought he would be the best player in the league one day but to average 10 assists in a rookie year is highly unlikely, given the length of the season and the unknown about how his conditioning will be come feb and march. Would be great to see though from an aussie perspective.

As the end of the ABA season comes to a close, I would just like to thank Yvonne Milbank and anyone else who may be involved in Milbank Photography. I love being able to go over the photos from games I missed, or even the ones I was at. Know that your work is much appreciated very much be me, and many other hoops posters as well I'm sure.
