Ben Simmons is an astounding athlete. At 6’10” (Coach Brett Brown claims him to be closer to 7’0”), 240 pounds, he has established himself as one of the leagues premier facilitators in the NBA at the young age of 23 and he’s also an unforgiving defender as he was ranked second among point guards in defensive box plus-minus with a positive rating of 3.6 during the 2018-2019 NBA season. The one flaw in his game that always comes to light is his lack of a jump shot.
Simmons’ shot isn’t bad per se but his refusal to even take jump shots on a regular basis limits his celling severely.
