I agree that Hornsby gives us another outside shooter, so that we can play the hot hand. Victor will give us the down low presence that Simmons can drop off to.

I also think Ben is wanting to establish his teammates rather than be a one on five. He will be more assertive as the season progresses.

I almost think that AB was trying to hard because of so many scouts.
I didn't have a problem with him continuing to shoot except when he shot the 3 with no one under the goal, 25 seconds into the shot clock, up by 5 points with 2 min to go.
CJJ should have sat him instantly as that probably cost us the game.
Hopefully he will learn from that.

Simmons needs to be more aggressive and I think he will over time. If our perimeter guys shoot better, mainly AB, Simmons has close to 20 assists.

I will be interested to see how Victor helps. Just having someone down low to help Simmons should help. Man I wish Brian Bridgewater had Brad's height.

He'll certainly improve in that regard, but even Lebron took years to fully progress out of that mindset

Yesterday, the pass to a wide open Gray was a great one, but Gray wasn't expecting it, Simmons had a good look. Gray gets stuffed under the goal.

It's gonna be a hard transition out of those split second decisions
