as a rookie? the point numbers won't be quite that high. i can see rebounds for sure. assists around 6 maybe.

The same way you can't assume he sucks as a shooter when he didn't have to.
Through 25 games this year 35 of his 300 FGAs were jump shots. He made 12. He was also 1/3 from 3.
It is a limited sample size for sure, but that's 34.4% on jumpers. Blake Griffin didn't shoot that well on jumpers until his 4th year in the league. He shot roughly 30% his rookie year.
The jump shot stuff is way overblown with Simmons. He got 19 points per game at LSU in the most anemic offense of all time despite having little to no jumper. He can only go up from there and he has still shown the ability to be an above average scorer. Who cares how he actually gets it done?

Hey I'm with you. With enough practice & experience, shooting improves. If we sat here and listed all the bad shooters that developed a shot over time, we'd be here all day

Yeah I know I'm just quantifying his jumper.

Yep. Anthony Davis went from 34.6% on jumpers as a rookie to 42.7% in 2015 and 39.6% this past year, although he took way more 3s and it explains most of his dip.

that would be a mighty nice team
Center Wilt
forwards LeBron Larry
guards MJ and Havlicek
Oscar MJ Havlicek all swing 2 and 3
Hill rotates into both forward slots
LeBron can spell Wilt if he ever really needs two minutes.

He'll continue to improve on his weaknesses and become a more rounded player.
probably/maybe
some people never figure it out. if he could do a layup like a normal person I would have more reason to think he can learn.

He's efficient, but he uses his right hand like 80% of the time, which is crazy for a lefty.

Maybe if he could shoot, he would have. And the team may have been better than marginally invitable to the NIT.
