In the other 3 games, Simmons DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT a shot outside the paint.
He has a bunch of great jump shooters on the Sixers, including one of the best in JJ Reddick. Even their starting center is a damn good outside shooter. It's almost like complaining why Shaq didn't shoot more jumpers or try to get to the free throw line more.

Terrible comparison.

Shaq played inside, with his brute strength. That was his game, and no defender was going to be able to force him outside.

Simmons is the opposite - he's a ball handler who plays on the perimeter, in a half-court set. But his defender can prevent him from penetrating, if they sag off.
