    it doesn't matter - ben simmons is slow off-the-dribble in the halfcourt... just like evan turner or draymond green.

    btw, why is the defender sagging off him that much?... that's what i thought...

    it's a KNOCK on simmons that they're already sagging off his broke jumper - his form is atrocious... [COLOR="DarkRed"]when they give him the open jumper, he doesn't have the option of actually TAKING the jumper - his jumper is THAT BAD..[/COLOR]

    if a defender backs that far off you, you're never gonna blow past him, thats the only thing the defender is trying to stop in that situation.

    the best option is to just overpower the defender as he backpedals.

    but i wouldnt expect 3ball to know that, its the kind of thing you learn by actually playing basketball.

    I actually agree with the bigger ETO or Diaw comparisons not that those comparisons are necessarily a bad thing. He is closer to those guys than Bron or Blake because while he is athletic and has great body control his athleticism isn't elite.
