re: Ben Simmons and the isolation offense

Ben only have 6 shot attempts the entire game against nc state?

State sagged and clogged to take away the driving lanes and daring him to shoot. At this point he's not a great shooter and to his credit he realizes that and, unlike some others under CJJ, won't shoot until one goes in.

However, he did look very passive. Reminded me of LeBron at Cleveland in that playoff game against the Celtics just passing it around the perimeter and never trying to make anything happen. Strange.

And overall, sloppy and undisciplined...and pretty disappointing. A lot like that trip to the Bahamas last year. I had hoped the Australia trip would help early. Looks like we still have a lot to learn.
