not sure if andre gets a hundred million, but it’s a similar game. he’s a killer PF. even with maxey , i’d love him on the sixers. harden ain’t hanging around
He had a weird shot with an opposite shot line for his set point. He shot well in his 1 year at college from 3, but bad from the FT line, and scouts were worried it wouldn't translate. And then he didn't shoot that well his first 2 NBA years (especially bad the 1st).
He had to fix his form, just like Andre will have to in order to be more consistent/confident.

I've said it on Twitter plenty of times. Andre's best comp is Draymond Green with WAYYY higher upside (double entendre). Went to the Detroit Final 4 where a Thabeet-led Uconn lost to Michigan State who eventually lost to Tyler Loco Hansborough and NC. Andre has an uncanny knack for seeking the transition open 3-point shooter and the ultimate Glue-man and Uconn Ride or Die player we have ever had in my opinion. He plays with an edge and we sometimes live and die by that blade. One more year in a Uconn jersey should hone his skills further, and once he puts in that 1000+ shots in the gym/day in the off-season he should be NBA ready.

Don't insult AJ like that.... Simmons was a lottery pick bust. He kept shooting when he shot poorly. Now he's afraid to shoot. AJ has developed discipline and knows when not to shoot and to help the team in other ways. He's not afraid to shoot. Anyone can become a good shooter with practice and the desire to improve.
6`10 225 with a better game around the basket. I agree hes not as good as Ben was in college but they are similar game wise although i believe AJax is a better passer and obviously a farrrr better teammate and leader. Now that i think about it its kind of an insult to Ajax.
He should work on his shot but he needs to work on beating his man off the dribble and attacking the basket.
