Nets' new coach has absurd goal for Ben Simmons

 


The big bad wolf wouldn't mess with Ben Simmons. He'd huff and puff but couldn't blow down the house of bricks the Nets' PG built with outside jumpers.

So why, dear lord why, would Brooklyn's new head coach Jordi Fernandez include Simmons with a list of bigs he wants shooting at least three long range attempts per game?



The rims at Barclays Center and road arenas might not be able to take that kind of abuse from Simmons clanking jump shots.

Then again, Simmons may not even draw iron. 

Fernandez's goal to create floor spacing is admirable, but unfortunately it's not possible with the offensively challenged Simmons.

After multiple back surgeries and knee issues have diminished his once explosive frame, Simmons has devolved into a decent defender and black hole of offense. 

Fernandez, like many in Nets World, is optimistic at the advent of a new season.

 You can't fault him for that. 

But it would take some serious Black Magic to make Simmons an effective offensive player from the perimeter.
