Don't just point at two guys who didn't pan out shooting, and then blame Ben Simmons on the coaching staff.
You realize that every single guy you mentioned except for Shamet turned into a way better shooter and overall player after he left the 76ers or Clippers. Also have to point out that in most cases their 3-point volume increased after leaving the 76ers. Don´t think this is just about Brown or Rivers. More about the staff in Philly. Not sure about the Clippers.
And I am not just pointing at two random players. I am looking at two first overall picks. Fultz was a good shooter in college and after two years with the 76ers the Magic had to start from scratch. I guess injuries played a role as well but that´s not a good look for the 76ers.
I am not just trusting workout videos. Just listen to Redick´s podcast. Simmons shooting has been mentioned in more than one episode. Redick mentioned that Simmons is working on it but he supports the wrong shooting hand theory and encouraged him to change it.
Maybe this summer will tell us more. First time in his career that Simmons isn´t working with the 76ers coaches. Clutch sports hired people to work with him.
Agree that Simmons has a lot of work to do. Especially on the mental side.
