@gregmcantwell: "Steve Sax was afraid to throw to first base. Mackey Sasser was afraid to throw to the pitcher. Ben Simmons is afraid to shoot the ball. They need to get him a good sports shrink and send him to the g-league, where he can work on repairing his mindset in a lower pressure environment."
