Ben Simmons has always been a recipient of widespread criticism, mainly due to his inability to shoot from the outside. But the criticism has gotten nasty ever since his epic blunder against the Atlanta Hawks in the 2021 NBA playoffs. 

Simmons was an All-Star who knows how to storm the box score with his all-around play. But he hasn’t been able to do that in these past two seasons and has clearly regressed from what he used to be despite getting a new opportunity with the Brooklyn Nets.

In light of Simmons’ recent struggles and drawn criticism, it is now reported that Simmons and the Nets believe that the point guard will return to his All-Star form.

Per New York Post:

“The group around Ben has noticed a complete change in Ben’s focus and mentality [through] this rehab and how he has attacked it and engaged with everything and there is a lot of belief in him being able to return to his All-Star form.”
