It’s no secret, Ben Simmons will be one of the most anticipated players this season. After a white and very eventful 2021-2022 exercise, the Australian will have to respond on the ground. With a very big pressure on his shoulders. But at the Brooklyn Nets, he can count on Kevin Durant et Kyrie Irving to support him.
And precisely, the playmaker did not hesitate to show his impatience at the idea of evolving with the ex-talent of the Philadelphia Sixers. Seduced by the qualities of Simmons, he is visibly eager to be able to see him in action on the floors.
“He’s got that ‘stuff’ in him. Now we need to slowly evolve him so he knows he can go out on the pitch and be himself. We want him to be at his full potential as a player, that he is able to accomplish things on the pitch that he hasn’t been able to do in recent years.
And just having fun being at peace with him. Having a point guard of this size, I’m also a point guard, whatever you want to call my position. It’s good to have the ball and see it go up and down on the court.
It will obviously take time, but we are patient. So you can expect to see him in his All-Star form. I know it will happen,” even assured Kyrie Irving in front of the press.
The Nets have bet big on Ben Simmons. And they need to see him back to his best to try to achieve the goal: the NBA title.
