That’s how many points per possession Ben Simmons scored in transition last season. This number is remarkably low, especially given Simmons’ reputation as a guy who is able to start the break. In transition, Simmons got to the foul line just 15.8 percent of the time, while he turned the ball over 23.6 percent of the time. These numbers are linked to each other. Far too often, like in the video below, Simmons forces a bad pass instead of going through contact.
Simmons’ awful efficiency in transition doesn’t even account for how many points are scored by other teams as a result of his high turnover percentage.
