Plenty of people are game changers that couldn't really shoot.

Simmons is one of those that brings many other skills to the table. Shooting isn't one of them.

So people like Rodman, Ben Wallace, Gobert, Kidd, etc, aren't very valuable players? I think the difference is that Simmons is commanding max money which is normally reserved for a scoring superstar.

34 million a year for someone who cannot shoot?

Why was his coach benching him at the end of games at the end of last season?

Jazz fans largely have the same attitude regarding Rudy's super-max eligibility

Hey man, I'm not the bitter one. Jazz fans bring up how Simmons can't shoot

RyneK

7/15/19 3:45pm

So are you saying that he can in fact shoot well enough to justify that $?

7/15/19 3:46pm

No, I'm saying he doesn't have to shoot well to justify that $

Disagree. In today's NBA you have to at least be a marginal three-point threat. Simmons is not.

If he's taking the shots, yeah some should go in, but he's literally taking .1

3/4 of all Simmons threes are half court buzzer beaters.

That's precisely the point.

Saying he cannot shoot has nothing to do with being bitter.

WJCougar

For the record, he's 0-17 from 3.

I did, doesn't change the fact that you're bitter because he was a better rookie

You seem to be extrapolating quite a bit here. As a Jazz fan, I don't care

He is telling you it is fans of every team the bring up the fact he can't shoot.

I'm not nor have I ever argued he's good at shooting or that no one else brings

I don't really think Jazz fans are bitter. And I'm not sure what evidence would

Ok ... you're right. He CAN shoot (inside of 3 feet from the rim). He's totally

When the player plays PG, shooting 3's or at least further out than 3 feet

When will Jason Kidd escape that belief? The dude is 10th all time in 3 Pts made

He had some bad years, but by the end of his career he was more than adequate

Because he was a bad shooter early on and through most his prime

He had a better 3 pt % than Devin booker’s last yr 3/5 seasons he was in Phoenix

Booker shot 32% from 3 last year, not exactly great.

He's definitely a great player. He is a great defender, great rebounder, and can
