After Miami was eliminated from the playoffs by the Sixers on Tuesday night, Dwyane Wade offered high praise for Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, and the rest of the young Philly squad.
“You want to see nothing but good things for those guys,” Wade said. “This is the future of the NBA. The NBA is in great hands with Ben and Joel and those kind of individuals.”

Asked specifically about Simmons, Wade compared the star rookie to “that guy in Cleveland.”
“You knew from the first time you saw him in Summer League he was special. He just continued to get better and better. Skies the limit for him.”@DwyaneWade on @BenSimmons25 pic.twitter.com/LVp4oVkhBf
