YES I SAID IT!
HE IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE PHILADELPHIA 76 SIXERS COULD NOT ADVANCE PASS THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 2018/2019 PLAYOFFS! THEY ADDED TWO KEY PIECES DURING THE REGULAR SEASON. (JIMMY BUTLER & TOBIAS HARRIS) TO MAKE A FINALS PUSH.
BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN…..
THE LAST TWO YEARS THEY HAVE FLAMED OUT IN THE SAME SPOT OF THE PLAYOFFS! UNABLE TO GET PAST THE SECOND ROUND.
AND IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH BEN SIMMONS LACK OF JUMP SHOOTING & AGGRESSION!
BEN SIMMONS NEEDS TO DEVELOP A JUMP SHOT ASAP! IF HE WANTS TO BE A TRUE FORCE IN TODAY’S NBA THEN THATS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.
HE IS…
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE SCORING IN TRANSITION. HE HAS GOOD POST HAVING MOVES SIMILAR TO SOME 1980’S PLAYER.
BUT…
LET ME TELL YOU THE SICKENING TRUTH ON HOW HE HURTS HIS TEAM.
IN THE FLOW OF THE GAME DEFENSES KNOW THAT BEN SIMMONS WONT ATTEMPT A JUMP SHOT!
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS HIS MAN CAN BASICALLY ZONE AN AREA ON THE COURT AND PLAY HELP DEFENSE! THIS REALLY HURTS THE SIXERS IN THEIR HALF-COURT OFFENSE.

THIS OFFSEASON:
FORTUNATELY HE HAS TIME TO WORK ON THIS.
IN MY OPINION:
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BEN SIMMONS SWITCH FROM SHOOTING LEFT HAND TO RIGHT HAND. I BELIEVE HE IS SHOOTING WITH THE WRONG HAND. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT BEN USES HIS RIGHT HAND A LOT NEAR THE RIM, SO WHY SHOOT LEFT HAND?
PERSONALLY I THINK HIS FUTURE IS BRIGHT BUT HE WON’T GET ANY BETTER IF HE DOESN’T FIX THAT HUGE PROBLEM IN HIS GAME.
HOPEFULLY 2019-2020 WE SEE BEN TAKE MORE JUMP SHOTS!
