Did you even read my post?
, nobody is drafting a dude 1 with the hopes that he's the ultimate glue guy, if Simmons is going to be a great player he has to be able to shoot, and no amount of ancillary stats will change that. 
people saying he's not that great because he can't shoot. He's 19 and has dominated every level he's been. Playing better competition will make him develop his shot no one is questioning his work ethic. What's worst is the people who say he's too passive and scared to take the last shot. Like it's really become the norm to demand that out of a freshmen in high school? He's in college he's playing within a team. The NBA is more player drivin yu start having that talk when he's established in the league.
When did it become the norm to demand a player to be a finished product at 19? The things People criticize him about makes me
He scored 43 last night. Clearly we're not talking about a glue guy. You have great players in the league right now that do stuff other than score. That is a level of success Simmons at least is displaying so far because nobody will make it to that kind of level by just scoring."Wiggins jumper exists we can see it and it's a work in progress and has been used as a weapon to beat teams already, right now Simmons has absolutely no jumper and no confidence in it. If you're drafting a player number 1 you're expecting him to be more than just a high level glue guy, if he can't develop the jumper there will be a ceiling on what he becomes. You brought up the Young Wolf in your first post
I like Simmons a lot, but throwing Wiggins under the bus for him is just
I'm concerned about this, of course you take him because of his talent if he's there, but his outside game is nonexistent.Nobody is expecting a finished product at 19, but his jumpshot is a major hole in his game that won't really show up until the next level. A lot of young guys need to work on their shots, my problem with him is the sheer and utter reluctance to shoot jumpers, he just doesn't take them even when a defender gives him a 3-5 foot cushion.
This shot chart isn't going to be available against NBA teams -
hell it won't be there against the better D1 squads that will zone him. He's a great prospect, but he's going to need a specific team to draft him, the Celtics, Pelicans or Blazers are the best situations for him, if he goes to a team that lacks shooting a lot of you will be calling him a bust the first 3 years cause he wont be scoring but will be doing a lot of the little things.
Nobody said anything about shooting 3s either, he just straight up doesn't take jumpshots.....zero confidence in the shot.
I don't care. Talk about them all you want.43 against North Florida
He's the number 1 pick, but he needs to go to the right situation, a team that lacks shooting around him and he'll have it very rough for the first couple years. Does this mean you want him on the ________, or are you not at liberty to discuss any type of drafting of players to the Team that shall remain nameless?
