PHILADELPHIA -- Few things in the NBA have been talked about more, and happen less, than Ben Simmons jump shots.
Don't expect that to change just yet.
"It's not that I don't need to do it," Simmons said this preseason when asked about his lack of shooting. "I'm confident in saying I'm not a great shooter. I'm getting better, though."
Simmons spent the summer in the gym -- working out twice a day, six days a week -- to improve his jump shot. But until it's ready for NBA games, he'll continue relying on everything else that made him a first-time All-Star last season at 22 years old.
