I could definitely see that.

EtTuKalante Intervention Needed

I got to say, for a 4-year rookie I would have expected to see a lot more improvement in his overall game. He's pretty much the same guy he was in both of his first rookie years.

Sixers' Athletic writer puts together article trying to outline Simmons' DPOY

If Simmons wins it's the fatigue factor, much the way LeBron has fewer MVPs...

Simmons won't win this year. But all the chatter is setting him up to finish

BGRTHNUMEGO

I could definitely see that.

EtTuKalante

Fair, but something those numbers don’t reflect is that Simmons always* guards their opponent’s best player

DieHarder

Right. Always. Except for the times when he guards opposing centers,

As Giannis said, I'd rather be guarded by Simmons than Embiid.

EtTuKalante

He guarded Zion the majority of the time on April 9th when they played

When Zion had 37/15/8? Good strategy there, Doc.

BGRTHNUMEGO

Like 26/10/5 when they beat the Jazz? How? The Jazz have the best defensive

You do understand what Rudy actually does right?

EtTuKalante

You do understand the Nuggets abused him in the playoffs series? Or do you need

LakeshowCougs

Do you understand that anecdotes are data points, not conclusive?

EtTuKalante

4/14/21 3:55pm

Here maybe you can learn

LakeshowCougs

And if I was interested in how DeMarcus Cousins played against the Nuggets...

EtTuKalante

4/14/21 4:10pm

Well if Rudy got exposed by Denver we can only imagine what would happen vs lets

LakeshowCougs

4/14/21 4:16pm

Okay Skip. And Zack Wilson sucks because he lost at Coastal Carolina

EtTuKalante

4/14/21 4:30pm

37/15/8 is "like" 26/10/5 in the same way my face is "like" Brad Pitt's.

BGRTHNUMEGO

4/14/21 3:02pm

And he got torched.

Jdoc

I only caught the 4th quarter, where it wasn’t Simmons guarding him

DieHarder

4/14/21 2:50pm

Just give him DPOY....who cares.

WJCougar

4/14/21 2:58pm

That is an objective take. Rudy is still DPOY. Simmons is a great defender but

LakeshowCougs

4/14/21 3:00pm

Nothing objective....just not a big deal.

WJCougar

4/14/21 3:03pm

Agreed
