Why isn't Ben Simmons playing for Australia in the Olympics?

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.

I could give a rat's arse.
Don't care at all.

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

Exactly, people are ridiculous. He was the least of the problems with the basketball team.
He was just the #1 pick in the NBA draft. He's the face of a franchise now, he's not going to risk it when he has accomplished nothing. In 4 years, unless he is hurt, he will 100% be on the team.
Australians should be more worried why Exum doesn't play

Thank somebody with some sense why risk an injury when you're the face of a franchise and its your rookie year. Good job Ben. I'm rooting for Ben this year I hope he destroys the league

Yea it was announced during the time the teams were chosen. Not sure of the reason actually

His personal camera crew was scared of zika and refused to go to rio.

Part of me wishes Simmons becomes the GOAT just to see if the tune changes among LSU fans.

Because they need to score points
