With a straight face, you are telling me that Ben Simmons who won't and can't shoot a 3 point shot with NO ONE within 15 feet of him can play wing or forward (or center really) in today's NBA? You want a guy playing inside who is literally scared to death to take a free throw? So much so, that he will give up on a wide open drive and pass out because he's afraid he'll get embarrassed shooting a free throw (or let the team down -- I do want to be fair. I think that's factoring in, not just blame it on his vanity).
Between him and Dwight Powell, you'd rather have Dwight Powell take the open 3.

And I am suprised that people already forgot this:

And I haven´t even mentioned Tobias Harris performance in the last three games or Doc Rivers coaching.
Bottom line: Simmons offense was bad but there is plenty of blame to go around.
Simmons offense wasn't bad...it was non-existent, invisible, unattempted... that's worse than bad. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
