I really don't understand how someone with as much ability is that dude has just has no desire to basically ever be aggressive on offense. It's totally mind boggling.
Not talking about taking a 3. Talking about not going for easy layup/dunk type shots and posting up guards and stuff, easy around the rim baskets.He doesn't have the ability to shoot.
That makes him a hero in my bookSimmons ruined the summer for every sports fan within 100 miles of Philadelphia

Simmons can be really good in the right spot, surround him with shooters and he can slash and he can attack the interior. He just doesn't fit well with Embiid. They both need to be inside to do their best work and it's just too much overlap. He's never really going to be a jump shooter, but if he could get good enough that they have to take a 10 foot shot seriously it would vastly improve his game.I was laughing when Philly let Butler get away. I would've done everything to keep him.
Crazy enough, a McCollum for Simmons swap might do both of those teams a ton of good. I know Simmons' value is way down, but his defense would help next to Lillard a ton.
