Is Ben Simmons just average?

Lots of things have been said about Ben Simmons. He has been questioned for his lack of a shot and how it affects his team. Also is affect is to his personal skill with his growth. But in recent comment by Jared Dudley had brought this in important time in any season, the playoffs. His comment was that Ben is a great transaction player but an average player in the half court. Does this hurt or help Ben Simmons this playoffs?

In the playoffs the players greatest weakness do come because the coaches have time to prep a real long term plan for the other teams most impactful players. For Ben Simmons, this is a real test pf his position in the league. Everyone knows he wont attempt a shot far away. the defense just has to guard Joel Embid in a double team or force Ben in to a highly contested layup or dunk. I do believe this will be the down fall of the Sixers for this playoffs because teams will improve there plan has the rounds move closer to the finals. If the Sixers don't find away to solve this soon this cause more problems then they know. But looking at the comment i think it is true that he is just any average player. The problem stems with the Sixers relaying on him to be second or firsts player on the court when he is there.

the test will make or brake Ben Simmons career and were he stands in in history of the NBA. No matter how much talent one player can have coming in, they must improve there glaring weakness but i don't see Ben even trying to shoot shoots in a game. He has no free throws and his only real offense is taking it to the hole.
