Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons fashioned himself another fine season in his NBA career. He made the All-Star game for the second straight season, he made the All-Defensive First Team, and he was named to the All-NBA Third Team as well.
Despite all of that success, there is still a huge hole in his game and that is the lack of a jump shot. The guy is so talented and he does so many terrific things on the floor, but he just has not been able to breakthrough with the jump shot.
His season ended in the seeding games inside the bubble due to a left knee subluxation that he had to undergo surgery for, but it appears that he is feeling much better now. He has posted a few pictures on Instagram and it looks like he’s back in the gym and working on that jump shot.
Fans will look at this and roll their eyes considering they have all seen this before, but the jump shot has to come at some point. When or if he does bring out the jumper consistently, then it’s going to elevate both his game and the Sixers as a whole. He is already one of the top players in the game, but the jump shot unlocks even more possibilities for him. [lawrence-related id=38148,38114,37419]
