Will Cain says that Ben Simmons is the “fourth most important” player on the Philadelphia 76ers’ roster, while Ryan Hollins calls Simmons a “freak of nature” and thinks that Philly needs him in the playoffs as the Sixers are facing tough teams in the East including the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors. Actor and comedian Lil Rel joins the conversation in which he turns the debate to Jimmy Butler, saying that he’ll “harm that team” as per his reputation. Lastly, Lil Rel says that “it’s annoying” to see Simmons not playing as well as he can.
