When you look around the post GSW NBA, you see all sorts of characters who can now make open shots.

Remember Boston Rondo? Compare that to now Rondo. Dude can and will drain open shots. Deep threes. All of that. Clearly he did something to make this the case. Add me to the people who want to see Ben Simmons do something about his ridiculously bad shooting and self-check/unwillingness to shoot. It’s not like he has a weakness that’s hard to detect. And again…Rondo. This is a horrible time in history to not be willing/able to shoot. He’s gotta fix it and that’s all there is to it.
