Speaking of Butler he looked better last night and the 76'rs won. What is going to be interesting is his presence makes Simmons a lot worse, he is taking all the usage from him and simmons looks lost. His weaknesses is he doesn't know what to do without the ball and his shooting, he has not taken a single 3 this year! Mahimi has taken one lol. His strengths are his size passing and penetration. None of which works with Jimmy Butler, they both need the ball they both crowd the paint. Either Simmons is going to have drastically change his game or they are not going to work out and people are going to pick a side. I like this deal a lot more for min even though they didn't get the best player. | ||

It is just that they can get a lot back for him because his contract is way low for what he does. Speaking of Butler he looked better last night and the 76'rs won.

Now, Zach Lowe says the Pascal Siakam bandwagon is full. No one else is allowed on. I was on the Siakam bandwagon after his first NBA game. https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sports/526388-nba-season-2017-2018?page=119#2371 | ||

I think they can all do it physically in practice. There is numerous youtube videos of simmons hitting like 9 3pt in a row and shit. But I think to get mentally able to do it in front of millions with confidence is harder for some. He also has to hear fultz getting shit on non stop about his shot so he is probably has extra pressure. Also, I think some people just don't have the hand high to ever be great or even passable. I mean look at how some struggle from FT line their whole career. It's not like are not forced to practice. | ||

Its not that hard The Magic/Lebron comparison has been thrown around a lot obviously, but entering the league Lebron was a slightly worse passer than Simmons, most likely because he was 10 times the scorer :D. I just don't think Simmons has that scoring component in his game. | ||
