This Is How Ben Simmons Is Going Save The Brooklyn Nets

How Ben Simmons is going to Save The Brooklyn Nets. Last year Ben Simmons had a real awakening of who he is as a player when he decided to hold out and not play the season. and similarly, the Brooklyn nets also had a reckoning of their own when they got swept in the first round of the NBA playoffs by the Boston Celtics and so with the NBA season starting today, I wanted to make a video about how the addition of Ben Simmons to the b Brooklyn nets is going to affect them. it seems both osf these two parties need each other right now. in this video I explain how Ben Ben Simmons is going to help the Brooklyn nets become better than what they were last year. the question is how is he going to do that, what does Ben Simmons do well that is going to uplift the Brooklyn nets. My answer is Length and defense. Those are the two most valuable things Ben Simmons offers the Brooklyn nets. Ben at 6'10 is very tall for a guard and that coupled with his massive 84-inch wingspan makes him a formidable defender for any offense. When The Nets couple this with the length and wingspan of Kevin Durant it becomes even harder for offenses to get to the basket and score or to efficiently operate at the parameter. But the only downside to Ben Simmons is his lack of shot-making capabilities from beyond the arc. which is fine, because he doesn't need to be a sharpshooter when he has great shooters on his team like Seth Curry, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. But what he really needs to work on is his free throw-making abilities because that was the whole crux of why he and the 76ers had a falling out. Ben Simmons has a psychological problem in which he gets into his own head and worked up about free throws. This goes all the way back to the 2021 playoffs when he cost the 76ers the series against the Hawks because he was scared to dunk the ball on Trae Young due to the fear of getting fouled and going to the free-throw line. the Brooklyn Nets don't need that version of Ben Simmons, they need the Ben Simmons that is going to run the floor, make his free throws, defend at a high level and buy into what Steve Nash is building in Brooklyn.
