@ChanNBAthoughts: "Ben Simmons looks great as a Clipper. Brings some dynamic play they desperately need to counter Harden and Kawhi. You probably leave him as sixth man but I think he needs to eat up more of the DJJ/Dunn/AC minutes when everyone’s back healthy."

It's another to actually watch him try to score.

It's...really bad."
