Oh.. I think you're having a different conversation. The point isnt that some bigs can be good without a jumper - most don't - its about the difficulty of developing one. Ben Simmons has tried forever to be some sort of perimeter threat and its not gone well. Bam wouldnt apply because he actually does have a credible jumper, but he's always had one
