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.
Hey, you brought up FT percentage as your big evidence that he'd be better (because you couldn't bring up anything else to say he'd be better)...and instead of an outlier, you showed a trend accidentally.
That's a give up post, bro... lol
