Simmons was pretty good today, but his team got absolutely belted.
Australian basketball.

Gotta feel for Simmons at times. He’s clearly coming back from some serious injuries, has his best game in limited minutes, and still gets targeted by the media the next day.
Ben Simmons showing signs of life. I hope this is the first game of his resurgence.

SMH Weekender did a good article on Simmons last week.
Watched most of last quarter. The real positive was his defense was showing out. Was picking up dame at times and doing really well.
He’s getting there.
Hopefully Patty Mills is having a positive influence on Ben.

Would be more than happy with that, France are going to be a serious threat to the USA especially if Embiid is playing for them.
There are some very good teams that's for sure. The Boomers should be playing at a higher level than the Olympics provided Patty is still playing at an elite level considering the huge improvement in Josh Green and Jock Landale combined with the addition of Giddey, Daniels and perhaps Simmons. Simmons would have to keep improving his play to be in our starting 5.
My team currently if everyone's available.
Starting 5
Landale, Simmons, Green, Mills, Giddey
Ingles, Kay, Thybulle, Exum, Daniels, Thon Maker, Goulding,
Last big man spot would have a heap of contenders. Thon, Reath, even Jack White could get into the team with his ability to guard much taller players just like Thybulle and Daniels. Xavier Cooks is a player I'd like to see make the team if Simmons doesn't make himself available or get himself back to full fitness.
I wonder what Jonah bolden is upto these days.
Last time I looked he was schilling some crypto bro crap

Not quite. He seems to be doing great as he runs a crypto currency/investment firm and he quit basketball because he was doing way better financially after originally getting involved in crypto to keep himself busy while recovering from a basketball injury. His company diversified into corporate finance so last I checked his company was stiil doing great despite the crypto crash.

I guess they can play Wemby as a 7'3 SF.

Someone that size will always be vulnerable to a pick and roll is the main concern
That's one of the things that makes Wembamyama seem like such an exceptional talent. He is so exceptionally quick despite being 7 foot 3 one that size will always be vulnerable to a pick and roll is the main concern. It's still early days but Rocco Ziharsky looks to have some terrific quickness for his size already too. I don't either of the young giants will have problems on the defensive end.
Ben keeps improving. Back surgery is no joke. Glad he's getting back to his best.
