 A clip was released showing Ben Simmons working out, Not much is shown but you can see his improved looking jumpshot. It actually looks like Lebron’s but with a left hand. For those that didn’t see it, here it is

 There’s no way he’s 240. Dude must have been wearing ankle weights last time he hopped on that "official weight" scale.

 Well Durant is listed at 240 so I don’t know how you cold dispute Simmons being 240

 My brother is 6’1 and weighs 260 and he’s not at all in shape anymore…

You’d be surprised that muscle weighs more than fat and I can safely say that Simmons is every bit of 240 pounds of pure muscle with low body fat percentages to boot

Still need to see more of his jump shot, I suck at ball and can hit a few step back jumpers.

[DukeDaSquadParticipant]

 Agree. I like the elevation and form. Consistency is gonna come with more reps

 This kid is 2 inches Taller than Lebron…….. Your weight is in your legs & Butt when u are an athloete…….. Ingram has No butt, hips or thighs…….. & he’s 200 lbs…….. It’s Crazy that Simmons is actually Taller than Ingram too…… I keep forgetting how Big this kid really is…… b/c he moves like a 6’6” wing or a 6’5” guard…..

 Jump Shot looks pretty good…….. I Never seen a guy who shoots & dribbles Lefty …. but Shoots right when Driving………

W/ that athleticism & passing ability…….. He’s going to be Unguardable…… Phila fans I can Not believe u got Simmons & now EMbiid is healthy………..

Drew Neitzel shot lefty but shot all of his floaters and moving shots righty.

 This guy is gonna bring a level of excitement to Philly that we haven’t had in quite some time. His jumper will develop. He’s got good form. By adding shooters, they can become a promising young team.

This dude only attempted 3 three point shots over his entire freshman season at LSU. Watched numerous games throughout the year and it was quite evident his range went out to about 12 feet.

Not trying to hate on him because I think Simmons can improve that jumper over a few years. However, I have a hard time seeing him playing a lot of minutes at small forward, at least until that jumper improves.

 The only thing that was truly evident watching Simmons at LSU is that he prefers efficient shots and that nobody in college could stop him from getting into the paint to take them.

Once near the basket tho he displayed a beautiful array of shots from both hands that had nice arc and spin.  That tells me along wit his 56% fg that he has a nice shooting touch. 

 

His jumper looks further along then Giannis who was unguardable playing pg last year

 "Settling" for too many jumpers……….. & essentially being called a "Beta-Male" for doing so……. b/c he wasn’t posting up & driving to the rim Enough……

Now you got a 6’10” 240 lb 18 y/o  athletic Freak w/ Savant passing skills……. a scoring & rebounding machine ……. who Refuses to let anyone stop him from Agressively Attacking that rim……….

And people want him to be Dirk Nowitzki……….. he’s Not Dirk……… Suddenly the Entire NBA should shoot Jump Shots & nothing else……..  If I want to see a Jump Shooting exhibition I’ll go down to the local Y………..

  I LUV Curry & GSW……… but I got Bad news for people there aint Ever gonna be another Steph Curry / Klay Thompson duo or another Golden State Warriors……..

 Simmons is what he is……..

The Sure fire recipe for failure in life is trying to be something your Not………
