How has Simmons looked?
Living in Australia all I hear is how everything he touches is pure gold and that he's basically LeBron already. Hard to get an honest opinion on him.
His shot isn't impressive, but his size, mobility and ability to get to the hoop look great. Also sees the court great -- can handle and pass. I think he's going to be terrific.
I agree.
Aside from his jumpshot (obviously) it's pretty hard to fault him on anything else.
Completely honestly, I haven't see a guy with his size move, dribble or pass like him since Magic Johnson.
People forget - this man is 6'10" / 250 pounds. He's the same size as Kevin Love and he's out there playing full-time PG, and he doesn't look the least bit uncomfortable doing it.
I know Giannis has played some PG as well, but Giannis' looks like a point forward when he's out there playing the point. Ben Simmons looks like a nature PG.
If Simmons ever managed to develop even a PASSABLE jump shot, good lortd he could be special.
