And more on the mentality side of Ben Simmons, he should really be focusing on his game if he wanted to stay in the NBA. We all know what happened to him in Philly and it seems that he can't get over with it. It's like it's playing in his mind, although in the beginning he was not like that, he has been putting great numbers and even compare to Lebron before. So if he can get over that hump then he will be a good addition to the Celtics team. He can still ball and pass but he should have his confidence back. He was decent in Clippers but he wasn't given enough time though to developed that self-confidence. He is also known to be a good defense, so that is also a big plus for the Boston Celtics.
It's unlikely Ben can improve his skills and become mentally stronger to be in demand among NBA teams. In fact, he ruined his own career in the NBA. Looking at his stats last season, I think he will play a couple more seasons for minimum salary and then finish his career in the NBA.
Actually, I don’t understand why he still keeps being paid for doing nothing. Clearly his mind is not ready anymore to play on NBA due to the severe back injury rehabilitation that haunt him mentally and physically.
I think he should just retired or play on lower league that will help him boost his mental strength when he once gain self confidence.
