Ben Simmons Responds to Not Making the Second All-Star Fan Top 10 List

Philadelphia Sixers guard Ben Simmons is not known for his shooting prowess. It’s the one part of his game that he needs to seriously work on. However his defense is pretty darn good, and last night he showed off just how good he is defensively by locking down Damian Lillard. Lillard explained how much pride he has in guarding players like Lillard.

All-Star fan votes usually don’t center around the best defensive guards. If the man could just shoot, he’d hands down be one of the best players in the league.
