he doesnt have to with the backcourt they have and when he does fascilitate they hit their open shots

Draymond has improved a ton in a year. Once Simmons develops or even begins to attempt jump shots they will be much more alike

well he has an incredible wingspan for being 6'5". over 7ft

Simmons wingpan is equal to his height.

I just think Ben Simmons will be Draymond like but probably a bit better in many areas

Green couldn't shoot worth a shite entering the NBA. He's also 7 or 8 years older than Simmons. Simmons has never needed a jump shot before, he still barely needs one. There's a very good chance he develops one when he's a full time NBA pro

Right now Draymond is a much better shooter than Simmons and probably a significantly better defender as well. Draymond and Simmons are both pretty good athletes but Simmons probably had the edge in this area. Simmons is also a little bigger than Draymond as well. About 5-10 lbs heavier and 3 inche's taller. Overall I think Simmons will end up being the better player of the two long-term. Simmons is still a freshman in college and Draymond is in his third year in the NBA after spending a full four years in college. If you compare college freshman Draymond to college freshman Simmons there is no comparison whatsoever. Simmons to me is easily one of the best freshman in college basketball in the last 15 years.

Green had years to develop to where he is. Didn't Lebron learn to shoot in the pros? Give Ben some time and he will achieve.

Probably
