Seems like he'd be their best player and it'd get him more experience at a high level

He's sitting out games now, no way he'd risk injury for his home country :rollseyes:

He's worn out from LSU's long postseason run.

Probably because there are zero positives playing for them. He ain't gonna win shite. Why risk an injury?

Ben Simmons will postpone playing with the Australian Olympic team this summer in order to concentrate fully on his NBA activities following the upcoming 2016 NBA draft,'' Simmons' agent, Rich Paul, said in a statement.

That's reasonable. Getting more comfortable with Sixers and their system to be ready for rookie year
