This Ben Simmons 3-pointer saga just blows my mind. How can a NBA coach even talk to the media like this with a straight face? Simmons is a NBA player, a guard, in a league that's shifted toward spacing and shooting and 3-pointers and the guy can't bring himself to hoist one up. It's like he's just being obstinate because it became a thing. Shot the damn ball, man!
Brand has had to deal with some odd scenarios...Fultz (who's doing pretty well in Orlando these days), this Simmons thing, the fall-out from Hinkie, the fall-out from the GM's wife's burner account...
