less than 8 feet - 92 shots with 55 made
8-16 feet - 8 shots with 0 made
16-24 feet - 0 shots with 0 made
24+ feet - 0 shots with 0 made
back court shot - 0 shots with 0 made

22nd in the league on 3pt % and 20th in the league in attempts

Tobias Harris is the only player on the team who can create off the dribble. lack of guards and crunch time closer will be a glaring issue all season unless address via trade

Agreed they need shooters


And Simmons laziness is going to limit his career. Anyone can train to shoot 3 pointers at a respectable rate

Is anything even close anymore? I don't think so

Especially GSW tank > Philly tank, they'll be back nastier than ever. It's insane to think they still have Curry, Klay, Green, and D-Lo while simultaneously tanking for a top lotto pick. Who knows what they can pull off with those assets

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....

Speaking of Tobias, he's in an awful slump shooting the ball..... he has gone 0-of-23 from 3-point range over the last five games.

Don't expect it to continue long, but god damn. For a guy that shoots as well as he does normally it's a tough pill to swallow. We NEED that 3pt shooting from him.
