Ben Simmons was better than ever in 2019-20. Even though he didn’t take a step forward with his jumper, he upped his efficiency (with a career-high 60.2 True Shooting Percentage), improved his driving and free throw rate as the season progressed, and became a truly elite defender. He made the All-NBA Third Team and All-Defensive First Team as a result, and he’s looking to build on that next season.
Now that the Sixers have added shooters like Danny Green and Seth Curry, led by a quality new coaching staff to implement some stylistic changes, they’re ready to help Simmons embrace a few valuable changes moving forward.
