No NBA Draft prospect is perfect, and the same is true for LSU freshman Ben Simmons, who is projected to go first overall and end up on the Philadelphia 76ers. After his first and only season at LSU, most were left impressed, but many have one bad thing to say about him — he doesn’t have much of a shooting game from beyond five feet.
I’ve talked about how this isn’t that big of an issue. Simmons is young, has time to work it out, and can do everything but shoot (handle the ball, move off the ball, and pass) from outside the five-foot radius of the rim.
