A couple weeks into the 2023-24 NBA season, we’ve seen glimpses of the two-way force Simmons once was, but they’ve been offset by a head-scratching hesitation that could hamstring the Brooklyn Nets
Best thing I’ve seen Simmons do so far was a play in the Hornets game.
LaMelo was about to take a three, and even BEFORE he lets it fly, Ben yells at Dinwiddie to run down the court. He catches the rebound off the LaMelo miss (as if he knew he was gonna miss it), throws the Hail Mary to Din, and converts a bucket within 3 seconds.
That was Rondo levels of genius BBIQ. Which is why it’s frustrating when he purposely avoids scoring the ball. He knows bette. Too smart not to. He just chooses not to do it cuz he doesn’t wanna miss.
