The meek may inherit the earth, but they get punished in the NBA. Through three games, Ben Simmons’ hesitancy has cost both him and the Nets.
The Nets have warned that Simmons’ return to form after he missed all of last season might be a lengthy process. And it looks like his recovery won’t be linear or steady, but will happen in fits and starts. Now as the Nets prepare to ride that Simmons roller coaster into a game Wednesday against the Bucks, they’ll have to balance publicly preaching patience with privately demanding high standards.
“When you don’t play in an NBA game for 16, 18 months, it does take time to get a feel for it again. Unfortunately that’s going to have some painful moments for him,” Nash said. “But it shows he’s got a long way, a lot of growth to do to get back to where he was. He’s already shown glimpses, so he’s going to get there. It’s just a matter of getting the support and getting there as quick as possible.
Simmons will enter the game Wednesday against the Bucks with just 17 points, to go with 14 fouls and 11 turnovers, in 84 mostly ineffective minutes this season.
