He's not going to be a good shooter next season. Just accept it. It takes time. I'd be shocked if he even shot 30% from 3.

Let's not act like we know what this means though.

I guess that means we have to play him in the final game if he's healthy.

I feel safe taking that as a great result.

It would be too cruel if he was trolling us.

They should really do that.

I don't see Simmons as a great point forward. He doesn't really have a post game and off the ball game. He probably won't be a great ball handler against nba type on ball defense for his size. And his reach isn't even close to Giannis' reach even tho they are same height so he probably will get the ball stripped a lot if he dribbles too much....

I dunno, something is just off about Simmons in the NBA even though I love his abilities....

He's our PG.

I think he is going to be a superstar, and it will be obvious as quickly as it was with Embiid.

I grant that he needs to improve his shooting, but he will be terrific in every other area, and will force other teams to deal with him when he has the ball. Giannis is somewhat similar, but he is more Lebron than Giannis stylistically.

Windhorst says clean scan, cleared for 5 on 5, don't expect summer league. Great news.

He shot the ball underarm. Just a party trick. He won't be doing that for games.

Great news.

Bummer that we didn't see him earlier, but I'm glad that they waited until a clean scan before putting him in 5 on 5.

Not high on him but I see two promising things:
- PG, wings and Biid should be a tough line-up to match where they can hurt any team trying to play big or small. Personally, I think it will be better than smallball.
- 1-3 PnR
