The Philadelphia 76ers playoff loss to the very young and inexperienced Atlanta Hawks has cast the Ben Simmons Problem into the spotlight. Everyone already knew about his shooting woes, but this time it was so much worse.
A lack of shooting shouldn’t mean that Simmons can’t score at all in theory. He could take the ball to the paint and post up or dunk like the 6’10 uber athlete that he is. That’s the same size as Dwight Howard, Alonzo Mourning and Bill Russell. They were all defense first players, but in their primes, they were still able to put up points on the board. In reality, he’s a complete and total non-factor on offense.
