The idea that Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons will spend the offseason improving his shooting stroke has become an annual discussion in Philadelphia.
That certainly will be the case again this offseason, after Simmons melted down at the foul line -- and disappeared from Philadelphia's offense -- as the 76ers collapsed and bowed out of the playoffs, losing in seven games to the Atlanta Hawks.
But not 24 hours after his team's season was over, 76ers coach Doc Rivers said Monday that he believes this summer will be different for Simmons.
