The Philadelphia 76ers have just signed Ben Simmons to a have a 170 million dollar extension for 5 years. The sixers have made sure to keep there young talent for a good while longer. But will this experiment work?
The pros with signing this extension for Ben is pretty straight forward. The first is he has his max money early on he doesn't have to try and prove he is worth it now. Also the sixers have given him a the message that they believe in his game for future seasons. He can train and improve with confidants from his coaching staff. For the sixers the pros are keeping a young talent who's can so many things on court. There are very few players who has his skill sets in the league.
The only questions that this move bring up is what kind of team does the sixers want. They have also express the same concern in keep their young center Joel Embiid for the future. The issue with this is both Ben and Joel are inside scores and must share the paint. Ben is a point guard but doesn't have a shoot to extend his range to help his co-star Joel Embiid.There has been reports saying he getting better but in game it doesn't show. The talent of Ben Simmons is unquestionable but still lacks so much that his future his always in a weired spot. He may have gotten his extension but i believe the sixers have hope that he will develop the one important shot so he and his co-star can play together more fluidly.
