Simons is legit

Yeah, kind jumps forward with it, but quick release.

 

I would be surprised if it would be Olshey's idea to intentionally bury Simons on the bench for another year. He looks good if Simons excels not sits.
Terry would more likely be the one to bury him, not Neil. They will need a Vet though for the minimum. Hopefully it is someone who can play with Simons like maybe Rondo??

 

Don't know if this has been posted yet but Simons looks like easily 6'5 now.

 

He might grew some but he needs to work on some muscle tone in his legs.

 

Thanks for sharing Fam.

 

Where the heck was that version of Nsssir Little at UNC?

 

He could be the next Jamal Crawford

 

Whos the kid that sorta looks like Ant, but is wearing blue shorts?

 

His shooting elbow is fine..

 

It's out.

 

Looks like a jump set shot with forward motion! Like to lean into it...

 

Looks like he's adopted/absorbed some of Dame's mannerisms, carriage, and game.

 

I mean, there are funky things to it mechanically. But it works for him.

You find a number of good shooters who don't shoot with "perfect mechanics or fundamentals." So it's not a bust on him at all. I just think it looks awkward with the elbow, the lean and the half or jerky follow-through. His shot is really soft in spite of all that.

 

I hate the idea of reconstructing jumpshots... just do what is comfortable/goes in. Unless it’s so janky/broken that it gets blocked everytime.

 

This looks out to you...?

 

Simons has great mechanics. No interference from his left hand. Shooting elbow tucked in. Smooth one-motion shot. Quick release. Good, consistent extension on his follow through. No shotting-shoulder rotation. Almost always on-balance.

People see his low set point (which he doesn't even really have since he has a one-motion shot) and they see his off-hand raising above the release point and they think it's weird. Thing is, his off-hand is lifting up off of the ball and therefore, has 0 interference with the ball.

 

I can't really tell, but his mechanics have always looked really, strange to me. I mean I don't really care the kid can get the ball in the hoop, could shoot the ball like Shawn Marion if the balls going in.

 

Not from that angle. I watched further into the video and it still looks out. Just like it did in his scouting vids and just like it did when he played last year.

Eat a Snickers, Bones.

 

Provide evidence then. His elbow isnt out. I'm trying to find a clip to prove it.

 

The evidence is in that very video.
