No, you are very wrong. Taking 2 point shots inside the paint is simply more efficient than chucking 3s and benefit your team more. And this is exactly what simmons is doing.
Let's do some maths:
Mitchell is a 30 % 3 point shooter, Ben is a 55% 2 point shooter, lets say they each takes 10 shots
mitchell 10×3×0.3= 9 poiints
simmons 10×2× 0.55= 11 points
As you can see, if you are an efficient shooter inside the paint like Ben, your team actually gain more points from simmons' scoring inside the paint than mitchell's 3 balls. Hope this make sense to you.
Well, I have showed you that a 50% inside scorer like simmons is more valuable than a 30% 3 point shooter like mitchell.
You are still not convinced?
Unless you are a 40% 3 point shooter, constantly chucking up 3s is actually bad for the team. And this is what mitchell is doing in the playoff.
Dude what are you talking about? You've lost it completely. I wish that I could draw you a picture using a crayon of what I am about to say, because I honestly think, that is the only way you will comprehend. I'm sorry "comprehend" is at more of a 5th grade reading level and I can tell that you are way below that.
COMPREHEND =
to understand.
SIMMONS HAS NEVER MADE AN NBA 3 POINT SHOT IN ACTUAL GAME TIME IN HIS LIFE!!!!
MITCHEL BROKE THE RECORD BY A ROOKIE FOR THE MOST 3 PT SHOTS MADE.
Lets talk about Simmons efficiency. I have all the stats.
98.9% of Simmons shots were 2 point field goals.
He shot 74.4% from field goals that were less than 3 ft away from the basket. (46.2% of his shots were taken from this range)
He shot 41% from 3-10 ft away. (32.5% of his shots were taken at this range)
He shot 31% from 10-16 ft away. (1.7% of his shots were taken at this range)
He shot 39% from 16-30 ft away. (0.2% of his shots were taken at this range)
0% was his 3 point% even though he was left unguarded around the perimeter the entire year.
He couldn't make a 3 pointer and no they were not heaves, I looked that up please refer to my other reply where I am trashing you.
You claim Mitchell shot 30%, that is false, he shot 34%. Pretty good for a rookie if you ask me or any other fan of this league in the world that actually knows what they are talking about.
Lets redo your math with correct numbers, with correct equations so that there is no favorite and the odds are fair.
Simmons and Mitchell both take 100, 3 pt. shots.
Mitchell shot 34% in the regular season, 100x3x.34 = 102 points.
Simmons shoots 0% because he's scared, 100x0x0.0= 0 points.
74% of Ben Simmons shots were within 3ft from the basket! I know your getting excited about that number,, but what does that tell you about what he does outside of away from the basket? (outside of 3 ft?)
You poor lost soul who has trouble comprehending simple math.
