CHICAGO – Outside of Markelle Fultz’s, Ben Simmons’ long-range shot might be the biggest mystery on the 76ers.
Fultz is relearning how to shoot, whereas Simmons simply won’t shoot from the outside during games. However, the Sixers point guard has shown some improvement in post-practice and pregame drills visible to the media.
Simmons even made four of five three-pointers during one stretch while warming up before Thursday’s victory over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. However, he has attempted only 10 three-pointers in games, all long desperation heaves at the buzzer, and missed all of them.
