Do you seriously believe there's not good reason to be skeptical about his jumper? I'm optimistic, but we'll see.


Why would anyone be skeptical about Ben Simmons? we know he has worked very hard so he will show something no doubt about it.

Are you just trolling? Hasn't he always worked really hard?

Yes, he always worked hard, however he never really focused on his shooting, but on other parts of his game, he himself admitted that. This is the first offseason where he has started to focus on his shooting.

Basically every person got asked about Matisse and Zhaire today. Reading between the lines it sounds like Matisse is a little further along.

Starting to feel familiar unfortunately. If he turned up to the scrimmage next week and doesn't shoot a 3 I hope the crowd boo him off the court.

Yep
And if he don't redeem himself at next years Olympics most of his Aussie fans will jump on the Jazz/Celtics/Raps Hate everything Simmons bandwagon.

He doesn't owe the country a single thing, and I love the fact that he prioritizes the Sixers over the insignificant international squad. Enjoy Mitchell & Jaylen Brown or whoever else you chose to support lmfao.

I don’t think most Aussie fans are that petty. But you sir, jump on whatever bandwagon you wish and good luck.

Feel free to do so right now. Simmons gets payed by Sixers and helping them to win championship should be a priority.

I would LOVE if Sixers players just wouldn't play for their national teams.

Boy, I really hope this doesn't lead to another 10 page discussion on racism in Australia.

:lol: :lol: Oh look we have a bunch of Columbo's here that have cracked the case... yeah I am moaning because I was so desperate and cut up that he didn't play for Australia.... and wasn't critical at all of Simmons not taking jumpers last year. Oh hang on wait what's this I posted when Simmons announced he won't play in the Olympics. Yeah I sure appeared cut up.

Looks better than last year. Like I said fixing everything in one off season isn’t realistic, even if Brown made some minor adjustment to the offense.
