The Nets are exceeding expectations right now, but what would elevate this team even more would be Simmons' willingness to shoot more. Of course, his ability to find anyone on the floor has been a major part of Brooklyn's offensive success, but imagine what the offense would look like if Simmons was more aggressive in looking to score.

Ben Simmons drops a season-high 12 assists, with 10 in the first half, as the Brooklyn Nets take down the New Orleans Pelicans.
