Giannis is still lightyears better than Simmons at shooting... and in general. Donβt kid yourself
Well Giannis has also been playing in the NBA for TWICE as long as Simmons has, so yeah.
But he's not better at everything, not a better passer and Simmons is right with him defensively (Simmons is actually better against smaller guards too).
Definitely a better scorer though, no doubt about that, Simmons just doesn't look to score often enough even though he's pretty much always one of the biggest and always the fastest guy on the court. But neither of them can shoot from outside LOL. Only difference is Giannis still tries, while Simmons doesn't even bother for some reason even though I wish he would. If Simmons was more aggressive as a scorer and took say 15-17 shots a game he would certainly close the gap quickly.
