Looks like that rotating left leg is slowly getting fixed. Still shooting on way down. Little improvements.

He's not even shooting threes though. He's stepping 1-2 feet inside the line.

He has a very stiff shot. Looking a little bit better but it's in practice. Anyone can do that in practice, I guarantee Demarcus Cousins would outshoot this kid all day in practice.

Looks good, i think he'll become a great shooter eventually like Kawhi

With his size and ability, he doesn't have to be a great shooter. He just has to be good enough that teams won't leave him wide open.

exactly and probably only out to 18-20 feet. He can slowly extend it over the years. He is very young.

More lift in the jumper. That is a huge improvement. His release unguarded will be solid. Guarded is another story. His release is a bit slow...and I want to really see his development from 12-18 ft.

Cousins absolutely could. Cousins also made the same number of threes at Kentucky that Simmons did at LSU, so I guess give him time right?
He's going to be playing PF, and SF in big lineups. If he can make shots consistently from the college 3 and make open 3's, he'll be fine.

He'll be fine
If they don't take him 1st they'll be sorry
He's a creator... Play him like LeBron... Point Forward, get him roll man, post up, cutting touches
People all doubting him because he hasn't an outside shot yet... Just look at LeBron... These type of guys can most definitely still exist to an elite level
Just has to be utilized correctly
He's even taller than LeBron, and a strong frame
He'll be able to utilize his big man versatility well
I wish the Kings could have gotten him

And this is whu I laugh at all Ben Simmons haters
How the **** does a random Australian big man become ranked #1 worldwide for 2 years? Because scouts know about his extreme work ethic
He will become a great shooter like pre injury Blake Griffin
