Interesting, per NBA.com

Magic's shooting percentage was 52%
Ben Simmons shooting percentage is 54%


Jason Kidd shooting percentage is 40%





I don't get the hate either, and obviously BS is a very special player. However, the guy probably hasn't made a jump shot outside of 6 ft since being in the NBA. Everything he takes is at the rim. Again, not hating on him. He is perhaps the greatest ever player the NBA has seen that has absolutely 0 ability to shoot. It's amazing if you think about it.

I mean If you can score like he can’t and guys like Covington and Reddick give you good spacing and can shoot threes, why take a shot you are less likely to make than a guy you can pass to?

Offensively he’s Blake Griffin who isn’t living in the paint. I feel Like he will eventually develop some
Kind of 3 pointer. Not a great one but just enough to keep defenses honest
