I have seen enough Ben Simmons is way better than Lonzo

You said that about LeBron like 10 years ago.
LeBron developed a decent jumper throughout his career and he actually shoots them. It is by no means consistent but he can hit it and teams really dont slack off him anymore. But that besides the point, LeBron has attempted 4 3PA per game since he has been in the league. He atleast attempts them to keep the defense honest, Ben has zero confidence in is his jumper and refuses to even shoot from the perimeter. I dont think he attempted a jumper last night. The commentators and players even recognized this last night and begin to try and sag off a bit. It will only get worse if he doesnt adjust. But as for the Bron comparisons, he isnt the athlete Bron is and cant finish as well.

To the general collective, if you watched Simmons before this.
Then by the eye test you should know this kid is just meticulous to getting the short range in game timing and conversions down and then progressing over time.
To extending his range mid game or season. Before injury he already started that process via summer league and injury just hampered that portion of the process from being more visible over the long term like usual. The good thing about Simmons is he knows within the game a low conversion rate means stick to the high percentage basics and work your way up via conversions and confidence. Instead of just jag'n and jack'n up shyts broke gunn'n.

This kid has the tools and more people should watch and he will make more people watch too. This kid should pass any and every eye test over a sustained watched viewing of this kid.


Kid is a generational euro talent.

He's talented but the jumper will always be an issue and he's extremely one-handed going at the basket. Two huge weaknesses he'll have to try and remedy before good teams won't be able to shut him down.

Lonzo has to be more aggressive. I'm not staying up late again to watch a Lakers game if this dude keep playing hot potato and just pass the ball ahead every possession.
