Ben Simmons isn't having a good time in the NBA right now. The Australian point guard has been struggling for a while now, earning a lot of criticism from both Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets fans. 

A former Nets player has offered some encouraging words to Simmons if he tries to recover his best level. 

"I want you go back and find your roots. Go back and find why you love playing the game… There's Melo, Cousins at home, Dwight. There's n— at home that could be in the league. If your heart ain't in it, it is what it is."

This is a big statement from Garnett, who knows how hard the competition can be and he tries to encourage the new generation to fight those demons and see that they can do so much more on the court. 

Simmons has been heavily criticized for his behavior on the court, his unavailability and his lack of aggressiveness when playing. What looked like a great addition for the Nets turned out to be a failed experiment, especially after both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant left the team.
