Agreed they need shooters
And Simmons laziness is going to limit his career. Anyone can train to shoot 3 pointers at a respectable rate
laziness though? I mean c'mon, Simmons is a lot of things but lazy is not one of them lmao.
Have you ever watched him play? The man is a fucking hound on defense, he locks guys up from guards to big men, and he's active as fuck in passing lanes and poking the ball loose. He plays hard, very hard, offensively and defensively.
The issue I have with Simmons is he's far too unselfish most of the time, he consistently looks to pass first instead of take it himself and make something happen. While his current play style can keep him among the All-Star caliber players in the NBA, it'll never allow him to jump to his true ceiling which is a top 10 player in the league.
I simply just want to see him attempting these jump shots. The guy shoots 3's in pre-season and in pickup games no problem, he drains three after three in pre-game warmups, he says in the pre-season that "if it's available i'll take it" when talking about shooting jumpers, yet here we are in the regular season and he has had plenty of opportunities and doesn't even look to shoot....
