Watch: Ben Simmons Can Kick Three-Pointers

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Well, if he can make them with his hands, he can just kick them in.

 

Just kidding. Simmons did tweet the video the world's most famous athlete, according to ESPN.com.

But one of -- if not the -- biggest criticism of Simmons has been his outside shooting, or lack thereof. Simmons made just one three-pointer during his freshman season at LSU and shot just three.

Here he is seen working on his jump-shot, shooting college three's.

Of course, the 76ers own the first-overall pick in the draft and fans are choosing between Simmons and Brandon Ingram of Duke. 10 94WIP radio hosts are split down the middle.

ESPN NBA insider Chad Ford tweeted about Simmons on Wednesday, saying the 76ers are "very likely" to take him first overall.

Ford also says Simmons has "superstar potential."
