What Happened To Every #1 Pick From The 2010's

[@CJRozay]

I understand that Ben Simmons hasn’t lived up to expectations, but I wouldn’t call him a bust. He made the All Star Game a couple times, All-Defensive teams, made a All-NBA team, has a Steals title, and was Rookie of the Year, so no, Ben isn’t a bust, he is a underachiever for sure, but he is still in his late 20s, so hopefully with time, something can happen

[@hubaldotorres4841]

Ben Simmons lacks confidence when teammates ask him to shoot the ball. Simmons is a true bust. Zion will be a bust too

[@CJRozay]

@@hubaldotorres4841 so because he lacks confidence in his shot, he’s a bust?

[@CertifiedPDF63K]

@@hubaldotorres4841zion’s great when he plays

[@sieusaopolo10]

Ben Simmons biggest weakness is his motivation, he has the raw talent that everyone wanted but he simply don't use it and with that kind of gifted he should have his best year right now but he's too lazy and he doesn't try hard enough, his mentality is a problem that's hard to fix; if he can't change that, he is the bust

[@thecoldking8170]

​@@CertifiedPDF63Kis true, though the dude is never on the court because of injuries. If he were to get healthy and lose weight and get into shape , he'd be in the MVP race the dudes not 7 ' 1 .and also he plays in one of the most dysfunctional teams in the NBA the pelicans . Which is another factor

[@KarinaAespa29]

This is why you dont have to hype a number 1 pick. It gets into their heads and eventually not living up to the expectations.

[@chubby_dude555]

They’re the number 1 pick for a reason, there’s going to be a lot of hype regardless

[@wazzup233]

He's already a joke after dating with 3 hookers. 🤣🤪🤑

[@dmedilicious8488]

That's cos his shots are mainly in the paint

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

@@dmedilicious8488 Your point is? He does that without being a back to basket player. That’s still very impressive and says a lot. Shaq averaged over 60% a few times but that’s with his back towards the basket. 60% from cutting and driving says a lot about how easily he can get where he wants and finishes.

[@eczotiic8026]

He has consistent lower body injuries. Many players with those issues don’t have much “time” left especially if they heavily rely on athleticism. Saying “he needs to be healthy” is easier than actually being healthy
