I'd say Simmons could be as well. His lack of ANY shooting ability is obviously gonna hold him back as a defender can play off him, but if he can develop even a decent 20 foot jumper, he could be one of the best players in the league. It seems like with a little coaching he should be able to get there. I've seen him take the occasional shot that makes me think he could get there. I've also seen him clank enough free throws to have my doubts...
