Simmons has been the exact same guy for his entire career. He's shown zero growth.
In his NBA career, mostly true, in fact his shooting actually got worse this last offseason.
On the other hand in terms of his entire basketball career, he actually had jump shot in High School, winning championships, which raises the possibility that he could actually fix his shot. He is 24 just about to turn 25, too soon to say he won't change.
