His scoring/fundamentals are farther along, not just his shooting. Plus Tatum is also a better and more versatile defender overall. But one thing that no one seems to mention is that Simmons shies up in the 4th quarter, mainly due to fearing having to go to the FT line, while Tatum actually excels in crunch time. For me I will take Tatum, and it's not even close. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DalCowboyzRule Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Josh Jackson with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block so far tonight against OKC. He's also a team leading +34 in 31 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so good though. Yeah, it's certainly not common. I've been so impressed with him. His biggest weakness coming out was supposed to be defense and he's been good on that end. He has no issues playing within Stevens offense either. Guy has legit top 10 player potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMMONS only attempts layups or dunks or the highest possible shots in the 4th quarter. HE FREAKIN HIDES. Watch the games....Calling Simmons clutch is like saying Dwight Howard/Capela are the BEST scorers because they always have the highest FG %. Tatum's shots are all over the court and from 3 especially. AND I should say AGAIN, for one of the BEST TEAMS, which makes Clutch situations much more critical. If you want to take Simmons over Tatum, fine, BUT please don't ever put Ben Simmons in the same sentence as any clutch related again. Especially against Tatum.

seminoles1 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Simmons is more clutch. He doesn't have to just sit and wait for Irving to break down the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a BIG difference between the coaching staff calling a play for someone or a player just taking it on his own and scoring. The fact that you or anyone can call Simmons clutch is either trolling or borderline incompetent. Either way you fools open up the door for constant and consentient "I told you SOs" until you guys start eating crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
