As he mentions in the article a lot of contracts are tied to statistics and percentages and players will shy away from taking that last second shot for fear or lowering their percentages. Which detracts from the spectacle of the game. Ben being 0/7 from 3's paints the illusion that he's actually taken 3's and bricked them all. In reality he's just thrown hail Mary's. 3's aren't a part of his game yet and the stats should reflect that. I'm not sure how they should tackle it, but I don't think a halfcourt prayer (whether they make it or not) should be included in the FGm/FGa/FG% categories. That's not a "silly nba rule" though. It's a 3 pointer. He knows it's a 3 pointer. He's making it seem like him being in a 0/7+ hole on 3s whenever he starts shooting 3s is a big deal. If it mattered that much, he wouldn't shoot it. Honestly, this guy is making a big deal out of nothing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even fathom the pricetag on Simmons in a dynasty league. He would literally be untouchable for me. Durant & Davis nah, Boogie Kyrie and Lebron, nope. He pretty much is in my dynasty league. Turned down KAT straight up, and whiteside + dipo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because it's misleading. He is heaving half court shots. Much different than shooting a regular 3.

You think people look at centers who shoot those long 3s, and think well damn if he didn't shoot those full court shots, his stats wouldn't be skewed. Come on. There's literally no reason for this to be an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's literally no reason for this to be an issue. Noone has done heaves exclusively though. Ben hasn't attempted a regular 3 so it's interesting for that reason. I don't know about the accuracy of players not taking those heaves due to fg% but who knows? Who cares? Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who cares? That article's main point was Simmons' last second heaves shouldn't count towards his 3 point percentage. How does that make sense? And he calls it an "NBA rule". That s--- aint a rule. You shoot a 3 and it counts towards your %. Idk why I'm getting so triggered over it lmao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dogtooth 6 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Ben is playing . . with Cavs,Boston,wizards and detroit this week,sixers need to capitalize that they are the real deal. So ben and joel needs to step up big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kane 2,886 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 X-ray of Ben Simmons' sprained right ankle was negative. He'll be re-evaluated Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_MAGIC_MAN 726 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So he's dealing with elbow and ankle injuries now, and the 76ers are coming up on a tough stretch...I would think the club would take it easy and not risk anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kane 2,886 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Ben Simmons (ankle) received treatment this morning and will receive more tomorrow morning. He will then see how his ankle feels during the pregame walkthrough before his status is determined vs. the #Washington Wizards. Sixers won’t shootaround in the morning.
