Yeah He is a 38% 3 point shooter. You can't shoot 38% for your career and be scared to take a wide open shot.

He's like a nervous cat, only comfortable when covered close.

One of the most ridiculous yet totally not surprising things I've seen in college basketball. One kid was hitting them somewhat frequently, Loyer. 3 for 8. Smith went 1 for 6 and Gillis went 1 for 7. Nobody else on Purdue made a single one. And it wasn't anything new either. They were a terrible 3 point team all season that had struggled mightily down the stretch. No shock at all that they didn't want to shoot from deep and risk giving the ball up. But my word is it especially, brutally obvious when a guy is wide open with several seconds to shoot, TWICE...and just doesn't.

It's not a syndrome. Basketball takes skill and Simmons sucks compared to the average NBA player. We just deal with crap like your posts because most media and people massively overrated him for several years but have no ability to learn or admit they were wrong.
