[FiliUTEP]

How can he not shoot?? Doesnt he practice his shooting?? Where are the shooting coaches for the Sixers??

Same thing with Giannis??

Does he not know once his athletic ability is gone his NBA career is done??

I would say Giannis is a pretty decent shooter for a big. I would guess he is around 30% 3 and 70% freethrows? Giannis will be fine.

Simmons rarely even attempts shots. I agree that he could do way better at shooting given his other skills.

The NBA values athleticism and upside over fundamentals.

The NBA is 5 guys on each side each individually playing 1-on-5. I hate today's NBA.

I wonder if Simmons would make the NBA in the 90s??

Vince Carter couldn't shoot and he had to learn.

A lot of guys never learn how to adapt as they age.
