Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me for the fourth or fifth time, and I’m not quite sure where the shame is located, but you basically have where my feelings were at regarding Ben Simmons and his outside shooting prior to 3:30pm Friday afternoon. I had vowed not to get sucked in again with the whole Ben shooting 3s saga, something that has had more twists and turns than a coaster at Great Adventure. But after his 1-of-2 performance on 3s in a 40-minute scrimmage inside the bubble...I’m kind of...completely back on board now?
Now, I understand why people get frustrated that this area of Simmons’ game gets outsized attention.
