    A boot licker lol. I've voiced my frustrations with his unwillingness to shoot. I'm still frustrated by that. But talk about letting perfect be the enemy of the good. They weren't going 82-0 and Simmons was bound to have a clunker because that happens.
    Obviously they are going to lose, everyone else played well (minus Richardson) . 6 points dude, is that "letting perfect be the enemy of good"? Who's defending him?

      Plain and simple most guys can make 10 footers consistently before they make 22-24 footers consistently. if he starts pulling up there, that alone will up his game. Shouldn't be that hard of a concept for someone so adept at the concepts of basketball like yourself. I know that he isn't taking those, I'd like him to start there.

        In my opinion, he's very good, but not even close to being the best at his position league-wide. Maybe he's in the top ten.
        He's 23 years old and one of the 15 best players in the NBA, even with his unwillingness to shoot. He was also an absolute slam dunk pick at 1.1 in 2016. His size, vision, defensive skills and athleticism make him a superstar. He's just a very frustrating superstar.

          I couldn’t agree more. But he hasn’t done it...and flat out refuses to do so.

            He was definitely not ELITE last night.Quite frankly, if he plays decently, maybe they win the game. I just think, generally, we tend to lost the forest for the trees with him and his jump shot.

            But, at the end of the day, you are right. He has to shoot - not because that's what is missing from his game but because it's what the team needs to be as successful as possible.

              I disagree that he's top 15 in the league. Not until he can shoot or not as a Guard. maybe if he was a forward.
