Really? This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read about his game:
quote:
At times, it appears he only passes when guaranteed an assist and chases home-run plays at inopportune times in search of a highlight.
He's been criticized all year for being too unselfish with the basketball, and now it is a criticism.
quote:
Teams are putting smaller players on Simmons, backing off him and daring him to shoot. Simmons seems to have zero confidence in his outside shot and becomes passive when guarded this way.
Actually, they were doing the opposite. He's least effective when large bodied players back off and contest him at the rim.

Because he's done it a ton when no one was between him and the basket. That's where that knock is coming from.

Exactly. Why on earth would you put a smaller player on Simmons and then sag off of him? You are giving him exactly what he wants, a smaller body to be physical with and get to the rim with little to no concern of having a shot blocked. Only Johnny Jones would think this is a good idea.
Whoever wrote this knows little about the game of basketball.

Can somebody explain this to me? Am I just over thinking this statement or is it just dumb? Serious question.

Other teams have been putting small players on simmons since we beat kentucky. Theyre content to let him hold the ball out there.
