No. However, we just played a quite successful season with non-shooter, non-ballhandler Dwight Powell in the lineup playing significant minutes. I bet Simmons can do everything DP did in a set offence and much more as he can actually handle the ball and pass.
I am going to trust that Simmons will develop his shot under Kidd. Kidd himself is a lot like Simmons. Elite at everything except shooting. Its a huge difference when the guy coaching you has experienced the same issues as you.
Simmons is number 1 along with Sexton.
BTW you can also play Simmons in a Draymond type role in Half Court sets and let him be the screen guy playing the 5.
