He can't shoot but he can do everything else at a high level. He's a great defender, he can play all five positions. I'm not saying he ranks in the top ten, theres a pretty impressive pool of people to choose from, but he's a very good player. Kidd was not a great shooter early and he turned it around, there's still hope.

Agreed, guys a wrecking ball. Guys like Giannis, Zion and Simmons are so dominant attacking the basket that with a good supporting cast it doesnt matter they cant shoot. Theyll get exposed in the playoffs a bit but even still not many guys can stop em 1 v 1. Still ueah Simmons is closer to the 20th best player than 10th

Guards who can't shoot usually get exposed in the playoffs because teams would just dare them to shoot. Look at Giannis(a point porward) last year. Look at DeRozan the last 5-6 years. Simmons wasn't really all that effective last year in the playoffs either. He did an "ok" job guarding Kawhi but offensively meh. The Sixers best player in their series against the Raps was Butler.
Zion is different though because he's a power forward.

ESPN calling him a superstar/top 10 player? he's been in the league for 4 years now and he still can't shoot. I've always wondered about these guys, shooting is by far the EASIEST skill to develop in basketball. DeRozan has been in the league for 11 years now and he still can't shoot. I'm not even talking about creating 3's off the dribble, just shoot 3's when you're wide open and guys like Simmons and DeRozan can't even do that. And in Simmons case, if you watch him play, he'll pass up a wide open 15 foot jump shot.
If Ben Simmons is a superstar then Pascal Siakam is Michael Jordan.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.
