    Kidd could shoot three. They said Simmons shot 19-73 from outside paint in season. That’s 26%. Less than one attempt per game. The Process isn’t working.

    How about the Nets? Are they playoff tested?

    I think a lot about how good the Sixers could be if they swapped Simmons for, say, Dame. When both us and the Sixers get bumped in the first round, I wonder if that'll occur to anybody else.

    I don't think Simmons is necessarily overrated - he's ridiculously talented. But it's starting to look like he's a bad fit with Embid, or possibly just the current 3-happy NBA.

    I just feel without his shooting especially in this era he’s easy to game plan for.

    Yes. Kidd took more than 1 shot per game and hit better than 26%.

    Ben Simmons is Evan Turner with athleticism

    Evan Turner can hit a midrange shot.

    Exactly my point. I just don’t get the Simmons hype. Some so called experts call him top 10 talent

    The Nets are doing this without Allen Crabbe on the floor.

    Not sure Simmons is Jason Kidd as Kidd was an elite defender iirc. At least when he was young.
    Simmons needs the ball in his hands to be effective. But Embiid & Butler are better with the ball in their hands.
