    His quickness for that size is too freakish, he could be a track star if he wanted to. He can get past guys on the perimeter, something Bron cant really do off the dribble, Bron has to bully his way through people.

    He needs to work on his free throws.

    I like Simmons but he can't shoot, he won't be anything big until he can.

    19,11, and 5 at LSU. I heard the silly guys on my radio this morning saying the same thing. There was some negative talk about Simmons that year I forget exactly what it was about though.

    Kid needs to put on serious bulk so he can finish with strength at the basket and not miss entire seasons due to injury

    Agreed.. Won't get past Cavs or Celtics.. Probably won't get past Washington and John Wall either..

    Philly is a young super talented and athlete team that's developing.. Need a few years.. More team chemistry is needed, a go to player in the crunch is missing as well.. That will hurt them in the playoffs..

    Lakers almost beat them last night.. That was a very close game up until the last few minutes of the game..

    just look at how good the bucks are with brook lopez jacking up 3s, even though he sucks at it, it's one more thing for the defense to worry about

    they don't even have to guard simmons, that's a huge advantage

    giannis sucks even worse at 3s... but he hardly ever shoots them

    3 attempts last night vs 11 for lopez

    203 attempts for the season vs 512 for lopez

    lopez missed 12 straight 3s in the playoffs and still kept jacking them up, made 4 of them and still under 30%

    Lebron basically sucks at 3's too.

    Not talking 3's. Just saying Giannis is way closer to Lebron similarity that Simmons.

    I think he only took like 2 threes that weren't from half court+ his whole career. But I think -200 he makes one just because of shot clock being low and him handling the ball a lot.

    not a great comparison

    Giannis is career 27% shooter from distance

    Lebron is 34%

    you might think... "oh 7% points, that's pretty close"

    for comparison purposes, Lebron is 3% below

    Larry Bird's 37% career mark


    some other notable 36-37% shooters that Lebron is only a few % points off of

    Jason Terry
    Scott Skiles
    Mike Bibby
    Paul George
    Danny Ainge
    Mike Dunleavy
    Kerry Kittles
    Kurt Heinrich
    Nick Young
    Sean Elliot



    the difference between 27% and 34% is humongous


    Michael Jordan was 32% by the way

    Lebron take a lot of terrible 3's at the end of the clock he actually is better shooter that some of those guys.
