“Deada** Serious, Ben Simmons Needs A Jumpshot”: Shaquille O’Neal Echoes Kobe Bryant’s Sentiment On

Ben Simmons is treading as a borderline ‘what if’ scenario in 2023. The 2016 first overall pick missed his rookie season due to injury and came back the next season and won Rookie of the Year honors over Donovan Mitchell in a controversial decision.Regardless of whether or not fans agreed with the decision to make him ROTY, it was clear that the Philadelphia 76ers had something with Joel Embiid and Simmons at the helm of their offense and defense. With Markelle Fultz not working, Sixers fans still had a respectable and young core with that tandem.

There wasn’t much to complain about when it came to Ben. The Australian native was a downhill threat, a passing savant, one of the best rebounding forwards in the game, and a switchable perimeter defender. If there was one complaint with his game (and there was one), it was his unwillingness to shoot.
