The craziest part is the lack of confidence. Never seen anything like this. The play vs Gallinari is the perfect example. Gets the ball. Establishes position in the post and backs him down. Spins to the baseline and blows by him. Really cannot do it any better. He just needs to finish it.
I really don´t get it. Finishing in the paint wasn´t a problem against the Wizards. Wasn´t a problem early in the series. Started in game 4 when the 76ers choked and lost a close game. Was even worse in the next three games. Once the hack a Simmons started he just stopped.
Same for the FT issues. He is bad but not worst of alltime level bad. Career 60% in the regular season. 65% in the playoffs prior to this season. And all of a sudden he cannot make a shot. Was completly out of it.
I really don´t see a player that lacks skills/ability even though some shooting touch wouldn´t hurt. And it´s not like his entire game was impacted. He was still outstanding on the defensive end. Not the usual he checked out of it and just didn´t try situation. Cannot remember a similar case.
