Last year he was 0-11 from deep, this year he has yet to even attempt one, he's made one shot from outside the paint all year which is pretty amazing. He's a great talent, and can do many things on the court, but for him to go to the next level he needs a mid range jump shot, he may never become a three point shooter, but unless he develops some sort of mid range game, he'll remain a very good, but not a great player. He should look at some tape of D-Wade, when he first entered the league he couldn't shoot, everything was going to the basket, driving the lane, eventually he realized in order to take his game to the next level and become a star he needed a consistent mid range shot, he worked hard at it and in time became a very reliable shooter, which is something Simmons needs to do
I saw a stat that over 40 3's were made in the warriors game last night, they said that when the 3 pt shot was first allowed back in the late 70's, something like 10 teams made less than 40 3 pointers for the entire season.
Nice analysis....I also believe with hard work, Simmons can develop a consistent mid range shot and a good 3 point shot
Ben Simmons was declared out for 2H tonight and money came in on.....
