Simmons had 998 field goals attempted this year. 11 were three points. 28 were outside 16 feet. He made 0 three pointers and hit only 11 shots outside of 16'. He is a terrible free throw shooter at 56%Think about that. Almost exactly 1000 shots. Only 11 made from outside of 16'. Simmons can't shoot outside of the paint and he knows it so avoids it like the plague. This makes him very easy to defend. You deny and cut off the paint, forcing him to overthink and go into an offense he doesn't want to play. If he makes it into the paint, foul him hard so he can't make the shot and force him to the line. In close games, late, play hack-a-Ben and let him miss FTs to get yourself back into the game or get him removed from the game.
Simmons needs doses of KG trash talk, pushing , a general ruffing up ......talking it up about his family , mess with his game . He looks like he could be screwed with by the right trash talker ............ would the real Smartacus PLEASE step up !
