Re: Does Simmons already have better ball handling/more diverse array of post moves than
No. We don't have a big enough sample size to realistically compare their skillsets.
What we do know is that Simmons has the length & speed of LeBron, but not the strength, so he can't bully his way for the easy 2 the way LeBron can. He can still run through the smaller defenders, like he did to Iggy tonight, and he has an arsenal of moves to outmaneuver bigs, but the difference of strength is what really sets them apart. He'll NEVER be able to score at LeBron's rate unless he gets his jump shot going. He's more Lamar Odom than LeBron at this point in time.
