Lol all credit to my man ozgod! I was actually thinking of making something like that, because the trajectory of Bayne's emergence of 3P shooting sparked my interest, likewise for Horford.
That being said, Simmons doesn't need to shoot 3's to be effective, just enough to keep defenses honest so they don't always give him extra space to operate.
You're preaching to the choir right now brother, trust me I have sleepless nights thinking about this
Shooting open 3's when he has space would do two things. Force them to play honest and tight on him, which would open the floor for Embiid and others looking to drive. And two, it would take Ben's game to another level because he can cook guys that try to play up on him (usually bigger guys too).
If he could shoot/hit open 3's at even a half decent rate, it would be gravy and he'd be able to do so much more and score 20+ a game consistently. You put a smaller guy on him, and he's taking them to the post and bodying them with his good post up game. You put a bigger guy on him, he's going to run right around them.
