A Ben Simmons<\/a> workout video has been met by jokes about the Australian's shooting woes as trade rumours swirl around the former No.1 pick.<\/p>\n

The clip shows Simmons in the gym with Los Angeles Clippers veteran Rajon Rondo \u2014 draining three uncontested three-pointers as he looks for a trade<\/a> following a dismal end to the NBA playoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video shows Simmons shooting with his left hand despite finishing at the rim with his right, further adding more questions about how the Australian should rectify his shot.<\/p>\n

Around this time every year, the obligatory Simmons workout clip hits the internet showing the Australian shooting three-pointers. When Simmons posted videos upon entering the league, the clips provided fans with some hope he may incorporate a shot into his game. But the videos have now become a running joke among fans who often ask when the Australian will unlock his talent by trying to become more of an all-round player.<\/p>\n

The video was released by Simmons' trainer Chris Johnson this morning and it didn't take long for commentators to chuck in their two cents.<\/p>\n

Not long after it was posted, NBC Philadelphia published a story with the headline: "Sixers fans crush Simmons for latest workout shooting video".<\/p>\n

NBC Philadelphia's Adam Hermann wrote: "Given the context of Sixers fans' feelings about Simmons after the season ended, and given the fact that these videos haven't led to a single iota of improvement in terms of his jump shot in the last three years?<\/p>\n

"Someone should've told Simmons, or Johnson, to keep this one in the camera roll instead of launching it out onto social media."<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is working out while he faces an uncertain future amid reports he has cut off communication with his 76ers team.<\/p>\n

He has been linked to several teams but the Sixers are reportedly asking for a lot in return for a trade for the Aussie.<\/p>\n

Simmons skipped Australia's bronze medal-winning campaign at the Tokyo Olympics to work on his own game, sending a congratulations to the team via social media after their historic performance in Japan.<\/p>\n
