You don't think Ben Simmons will make the All Rookie First Team? He's my pick for ROTY

You don't think Ben Simmons will make the All Rookie First Team? He's my pick for ROTY Completely forgot he was a rookie lol. He'll get Fultz spot on the first team. I figured Fultz (and Lonzo) would get that spot based a little bit on hype over a guy like DeAaron Fox who I think will have a good year, but be forgotten about in Sacramento. I'll stick with DSJ as my pick for ROY. I'm not convinced he's going to be an elite player, but he's definitely going to put up numbers in Dallas. I'm also not convinced Philly is that good yet. So many people have them as a lock for the playoffs and winning like 45 games or something. I don't see it though, they're still too raw and I don't think Simmons and Fultz are ready to truly help Embiid who'll be amazing whenever he can actually get on the floor. This year will be growing pains, next year will be better for them.

It does seem like Dallas have given DSJ the green light to take over, which is great because he's fantastic. I think if Embiid plays 60-70 games then the Sixers make the playoffs, his presence makes all the difference (although he was peculiarly passive in his 1st game). I also think Ben Simmons will have a few triple doubles this year, in fact I should put a bet on it!

This year will be growing pains, next year will be better for them. I'm kinda getting tired of the rookie sits out a year and then gets to still be a rookie. If they stopped that I'd be happy to be honest. I think people like Philly because every other team in the East is just so depleted. I don't like Miami, Charlotte, Detroit or Boston to really do anything and it's hard making that prediction.
