Live broadcast, October 2-basketable Nets coach Nash talked about Simmons in an interview with the media.
Speaking of Benxi’s free throw shooting rate so far, only (Nash’s free throw shooting rate is as high as), Nash said: “I have never taught Ben before, so I have to wait to see the progress of this season, but Ben did spend a lot of time on free throws. He feels good and we want to keep him confident.
“To be honest, no matter whether Ben can remain efficient on freethrow line, I still hope he can go to the freethrow line and play his own aggressiveness. The hit rate of Yogueta has not improved and do not be discouraged. I will encourage him to move forward. I think he has room to grow into an excellent free throw player. He feels very good. The problem now is that he should regain his confidence, get opportunities, and then get out of trouble.
“He must know his importance and value to the team. Whether he gets 2 or 20 points, he will play an important role in our work and goals.”
