And while we've both agreed we're fans of free flowing motion offenses, I'd love to run some set plays to get Simmons involved when he's feeling timid.
Something johnny has GREATLY improved on are set inbounds plays. I think he's a smart enough offensive mind to develop a few great sets allowing Simmons some baseline looks with little defensive help.
He was starting to be assertive against OU after the dunk, and then the BS travel call sent him back into passing mode. You have to players like him completely rolling or they aren't going to take over games.
Lebron, who's obviously a much better player than Simmons at this point, had the same mental issues when he joined the league. Hell, he had the same issues years later, see the NBA finals when he scored 6 points.

Ya know, I haven't posted this story on TD but I figure I'll do it now. It's nothing earth shattering, just an encounter I had with Ricky Blanton.
I used to coach soccer, and Blanton's kid played. After last game of the year he comes up and thanks the coaches and say his kid loved it blah blah blah. I go "Oh man, Ricky...you're a legend." Now, I'm coaching soccer so he's probably taken aback that I know who he is. So I go "Yea, I used to work for the team under Brady." He starts laughing and goes "Oh, John?? Oh man, bet you have some stories. You know, we have a different John now and he's 180 from Brady. His players LOVE him and will run through a wall for him. I've always respected and loved the guy, and it's an honor I can work with him now."
The point of this post is this: I'm a complete stranger to Ricky Blanton. I said nothing about being a season ticket holder, or LOVING LSU basketball...just that I worked 1 year for Brady. Ricky proceeds to go on and on about how much the players and everyone he comes in contact with love him.
So to the guy who says he's "cut from a different cloth"...yea, no shite. You also CLEARLY do not understand the mentality of kids these days, or are in touch in anyway with society.
