New to basketball, how is Ben Simmons bad if he got drafted 1st overall and won ROTY? (alien.top)

He's also 6'10. I don't play basketball, but a 6'10 player who moves like a 6'3 player (Speed wise) seems pretty damn unstoppable. What the hell happened???

Back injuries, never evolved as a half-court playmaker, didn't develop a jump shot, and confidence issues (i.e. passing up an easy dunk vs the Hawks, thinking he'd get fouled and have to shoot free throws).

It's a shame because he was very fun to watch early on, even with his weaknesses pre-injury.
