I agree in theory, but this is the problem with historical comps for Simmons - he doesn't have any. Magic kind of works in that he's a huge point guard who could play any position and wasn't a good shooter, but Magic shot nearly 85% from the FT line for his career. He even led the league once, in 1989. He made more three pointers in his rookie year (7) than Simmons has in his entire career (5). From an outside shooting perspective, they just aren't similar beyond a glance. Simmons' issues exacerbated by him playing in (what I hope) is the peak of the 3 point era, but at any point in recent history (at least over the last 40 years), his complete inability to even attempt to score outside the paint would be a major problem in the playoffs.
