His outside shooting is probably his biggest thing to work on and once he is in the NBA he will fine tune that as well IMO.

So as a non-basketball aficionado, am I to believe that when he gets coaching in the NBA he will suddenly have an outside (or any) jump shot? Is that the way this works...suspect??

Personally don't have much use for college basketball due to the one and doners...

He'll work on it like Bass and Davis did. With repetition he'll get better, just like they did. Will he ever be 38-40% or from 18 feet, probably. Will he become Ray Allen, probably not.

Then why post in a college basketball thread where you obviously haven't watched much?

Anthony Davis couldn't shoot when he got to the league. Kawhi Leonard either

It is a very SAFE assumption Simmons will turn into a good shooter. He shoots 75% from the line

No. Its called basketball being his job. No school in the way. Just shooting basketballs day in and day out probably 2 or 3 times moreso than he does now. He will get better there.
