Ben Simmons: finishing strong, drawing more fouls, and knocking down free throws

The sky is falling. The Process is a distant memory. You’re frustrated. We hear you. But here’s a break from the big picture front office, coaching, and rotation problems this team is having. This one will be about Ben Simmons’ development as a finisher. Because amidst the disappointing chaos of this season, there have been signs of true progress in their young 23 year old two time All-Star. Sometimes that can get lost when the team struggles on the road, and the chatter is only about his jump shot or his fit with Joel Embiid. Now even though this team’s roster construction isn’t a great compliment for his unique skills, Simmons is having his best season.
