Jordi Fernandez on Ben Simmons attempting four shots in 25 minutes today:
“I want him to shoot more. My goal for him is 10 [shots per game]. He’s gotta find a way to get there. He hasn’t gotten there, but I know he can… Those attempts need to go up… He’s more than capable.” pic.x.com/CySkC5PU80 – 7:21 PM

These moments continue to show up for Ben Simmons.
There’s an open lane straight to the rim. No reason to stop. Go dunk the basketball. pic.x.com/PGvEV6qWI7 – 4:37 PM

This was Ben Simmons’ best game of the season. He has 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Had a few nice finishes as a roller in the halfcourt, and his passing was great. – 9:30 PM

Ben Simmons can still pass it … 11 assists and counting so far. – 9:25 PM

Jordi Fernandez when asked if Ben Simmons needs to play smarter after being in foul trouble every game so far:
“I’m very happy with the way he’s competed… He’s embracing physicality, and right now, yes, we’re fouling a lot, but we’ll live with it… I’m not really concerned – 6:50 PM

The Sixers will play @ the Suns on Monday. They last won a game in Phoenix on 1/2/19. Their starting lineup that day:
Ben Simmons
JJ Redick
Furkan Korkmaz
Jonah Bolden
Joel Embiid
Two of these guys are out of the NBA. One is on the verge of it. One is head coach of the Lakers! – 4:56 PM
