The top pick Simmons is about to change teams again...

Since the player market opened, 4 to 6 teams have shown strong interest in Ben Simmons, and several other teams have engaged in exploratory discussions, but these talks have only remained at the initial interest stage without further progress.

However, reporter Ary has reported that Simmons is expected to reach an agreement with the Celtics.

Simmons, a player often linked with "what a pity."

This 2016 draft pick had a selection template similar to LeBron's.His starting point was quite high.

Carrying the hopes of Philadelphia's rise, he averaged 15.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.2 assists in his rookie season, winning Rookie of the Year and making the All-Star team.

However, due to a lack of shooting ability and injuries, his development did not meet expectations, and he once became the top "underachiever" in the NBA.

Last season, he played for the Clippers.

In the regular season, he averaged 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists; in the playoffs, he appeared in 5 games, averaging only 0.8 points and 1.4 rebounds, completely falling out of the rotation.

From a regular-season performance perspective, it was somewhat acceptable.

Although shooting remains a critical weakness, he still possesses impressive physical attributes.

He can push offensive transitions, cover multiple defensive positions, and his passing vision is still top-notch.

But can we expect him to score? Especially shooting?

He truly cannot learn it.

Now, as media personalities have said, what if he goes to the Celtics?

One thing to clarify is that the Celtics will be in a transition period next season due to Tatum's likely season-ending injury. Moreover, in this offseason, they made some roster adjustments to reduce expenses.

From a roster standpoint, they need to cost-effectively supplement their defense and playmaking, which is a significant factor in their pursuit of Simmons.

If he stays healthy, "The Process" still has a chance to secure a position in Boston.

Now, he is no longer the cornerstone of a franchise or a so-called genius player.

Ben Simmons needs to fight for his NBA contract.
