That will happen when his go to move is driving, stopping in the paint, and passing out instead of taking the higher percentage shot. I doubt they keep these numbers, but I’d be curious to see if he also is top 3 in 3 point shots missed after his pass. What I’m getting at is he takes so few shots because he opts to pass when he shouldn’t, so he’s naturally going to have a lot of assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An assist is an assist and in modern era where they value the 3 over the 2 the numbers don't lie in that he definitely created a lot of open 3 point opportunities.

He can dominate based on his physical gifts alone and won't have to acknowledge any weaknesses in his game. It's basically how he lived until getting to the NBA -- get by on talent alone. he'd still have the smallest balls in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument is that he’s cost them more points by passing up opportunities to go to the rim and passing to shooters who miss than what he’s generated by passing to shooters who make the shot. Again, this is a difficult stat to track but just by watching they miss on a lot of points because he opts to kick it out when he could get to the rim. The points lost would be even more dramatic if he could actually hit free throws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve mentioned this in another Eagles thread but the list of players throughout Eagle history who I NEVER want to see put on another uniform, even when they start to fall off as a productive player, is extremely short. Kelce is on that list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed extended time with a herniated disc in 2020. Is it BS this time? Of course. But the move here is probably for Simmons to complain of back problems related to his prior play-related injury...then he has to get his money. That's almost undoubtedly why he went with back tightness as the reason he's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Judge will rule by the time he becomes a Free Agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man literally alters the way he plays the game in order to avoid embarrassment. There's no way he's gonna allow himself to be on the sidelines getting mocked by fans during a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
