He's being guarded by Trae Young, Lou Williams and Bogdonovic....just saying. Philly fans have to be KILLING this guy... this is a SEVERE case of grass is always greener and proximity hate.
No better way to admit that you aren´t even watching the games. Just posting whatever fits your agenda. They are defending him with bigs or big wings. Mostly Collins. Sometimes Gallinari or Bogdanovic. Even Capela is more of an option than Young or Lou Williams.
Next part: Defense. Simmons is not the problem. Actually doing a good job against Young. Against Simmons Young is 16/35 from the floor. 3/13 from 3. Only attempted 6 FTs. 53.1% TS. That elite defense.
Problem is that just like any other team the Hawks are hunting mismatches and attacking the bigs. Embiid and Howard cannot move their feet. Curry and Korkmaz are mediocre defenders.
Simmons is not a high volume scorer. Never has been. That´s the on advantage KP has over him. Not saying that he hasn´t been a problem on offense in the last three games but even at his worst he is still better than KP because of all the other things he can do on the basketball court.
