NBA pre-season bold predictions: Ben Simmons will be Ben Simmons again

NBA pre-season bold predictions: Ben Simmons will be the best Ben Simmons that we’ve seen in his career. 

Through the first few seasons of his career, Ben Simmons has been one of the most polarizing players in the NBA. Especially toward the latter portion of his tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers, there really wasn’t a middle ground when it came to Simmons. You either loved him or hated him.

However, he’s no longer with the Sixers. After being traded to the Brooklyn Nets, Simmons will have the opportunity to get a fresh start this season.

Ben Simmons gets to hit the reset button on his narrative

Simmons will get a unique second opportunity with the Nets starting this season. After an up-and-down four years in Philadelphia, Simmons can begin to carve the next chapter of his career. And now that he’s fully healthy, I predict we’ll see the best version of Simmons – a stress-free player that will put together the best season of his career thus far.
