If Ben Simmons could become a steady 65% and up free throw shooter in regular season and playoffs I wouldn’t care if developed a jumper or not.
Give him 2 more points a game at least on free throws and he never has to leave the floor in crunch time and he is golden.

If he became a 70% free throw shooter he is absolutely perfect as is.

It is a pity he wastes so much time in off season on 3 pointers and long jumpers.

and why the F is he only 100% at PG?

It looks like a real possible trade could be made with Toronto. Simmons for Annunop and 2023 number 1 pick.
Annunop is very very versatile like Simmons and young at 24 and improving and already proven. A true shooting forward with a terrific 3 ball. He would start at
SF. And he is solid at defense. With Maxey looking for real Maybe this is going to happen.

There would be a throw in one year veteran point guard also.

If anyone is following the 76ers I have a question.
If you ran a team making an offer to the 76ers after Simmons and the team mended fences ( hypothetical) and the 76ers gave you a choice of Simmons or Maxey would you want Maxey more then Simmons now after the start Maxey is off to at 21 years old. Just turned 21 a few days ago.

Might depend on what city your team is in. Simmons being on a max is a bit scary, but it does lock him down in a market where he might not sign otherwise. And I do think overall his ceiling remains higher.

I think it's a strong case in favor of the Kings. No, they're not one of the top 3 California teams he prefers, but it's still California. I feel like he'd be OK.

If you're the Lakers, Clippers, Heat, Warriors, etc. you'd probably rather have the cap room benefits that come with a guy like Maxey since you can more easily fill the cap room with studs. Admittedly a lot of those teams won't have cap room either way - but the luxury tax is no joke once you hit certain thresholds either.

The cap is a great practical point but after watching Maxey as 19-20 yo rookie and seeing him now as a starter I think I would prefer Maxey. I think he will be an all star next season and is a far far better scorer. His assist to turnover ratio is excellent as is his defense and he is an 88% free throw shooter.
And he is a clutch player down the stretch.
