Ben Simmons has been tremendous since the injury. So I took a bit of a deep dive into his season so far

Since his return, Ben Simmons is shooting 73% (!) from the field.

That is tops among ALL NBA players with 9+ FGA per game

Ben Simmons is posting a 112 offensive rating since the injury (tops all Sixers starters).

His assist rate is up to 32% while cutting down his turnover rate to 13%

Defensively, Simmons has been ALL WORLD. Players are shooting 39% when defended by Ben

4th quarter crunch time? 27% (!)

Want to go at Ben in the PnR? Forget it. Simmons allows 0.67 PPP (81st percentile)

Think you can spot up against his length? Ha! Simmons is now in the 94th percentile among all spot up defenders

Simmons is a suffocating defender and the Sixers most efficient offensive option.

Don’t let the jump shot think pieces fool ya. This is an improved player who is quietly leading the Sixers thru the early months of the season
