Look if he was 71% in 17-18, 58% in 18-19 and then 70% in 20-21, that's an anomaly...
71% -> 58% - > 34% - looks more like a trend.
If anything you are proving my point.
FT% determines if a player deserves a max or not? Poor Luka. Thankfully smarter people than me and you thought that he was still worth the max extension.
I am proving that I am willing to have an honest discussion. That´s why I am not cherry picking the numbers. And to relate to your take in the KP discussion. Bias is a thing. If you would look up his regular season FT% you would see that he improved them since his rookie season.
I bring up the numbers because that´s the best starting point for a discussion like this. We have a big regular season sample size of Simmons having a mediocre but acceptable FT%. We have one playoff run where the percentages plummeted. First playoff run was a positve outlier. Second one was right in line with his regular season numbers.
