Ben Simmons’ jump shot or lack thereof has been a main topic of conversation since he was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2016. Heading into his third official NBA season is where it seems like we’ll all see the jumper often (for Simmons standards) in live game action.
Since we’ve gotten jumper video after jumper video in pickup, I felt the need to help us all manage our expectations when watching Simmons play this season. Basically, this a how-to guide on the maintenance of expectations for Ben Simmons jump shot.
A good starting point for this would be by only comparing Ben to himself, either that being his past or potential play.
