We can start with yesterday. What would have happened, if he had played just 75% of Pangos performance? Barca would have won easily.
If supposedly 1 of the best playmakers of the game is 1/14 in playoffs as a leader something must be wrong. Leaders are the ones, who should lead their team to the win and that is even more true, if they're playmakers. They should takeover games, when it's crunch time. Pangos did exactly that yesterday. I agree, even the best players cannot win everything alone. But 1/14 are brutal numbers. Yes Pao played against some good clubs, but Pao was good team too. They had home court advantage twice. Real with Luka was without Campazzo and Llull returned for last 2 games after 1 year long injury. So Real basically had only 18 years old playmaker.
The problem with Calathes is obvious in playoffs, coaches just leave him open and risk that he makes some 3s, but take his driving and spacing away. It's exactly the same problems Simmons has in Nba.
He was awful in Fener series too. Just compare leader Bogdanovic and leader Calathes. What happens if you switch those 2? And that's the only thing I'm saying, leader should lead and win some games.
Yes, if he was a shooter, he would have been...Simmons would have been better than LeBron, if he was an average shooter. Unfortunately basketball is about putting basketball in a basket.
