The basketball world is falling to be bated into yet another Ben Simmons training video<\/a> which shows the Aussie draining multiple jumpers and sinking a deep three.<\/p>\n

Around this time every year, the obligatory Simmons workout clip hits the internet showing the Australian nailing his shooting game.<\/p>\n

When Simmons posted videos upon entering the league, the clips provided fans with some hope he may incorporate a shot into his game.<\/p>\n

But the yearly clips 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

\"Ben<\/p>\n

Just under a fortnight ago, Simmons' camp shared a video of the Aussie in the gym with Los Angeles Clippers veteran Rajon Rondo \u2014 draining uncontested three-pointers.<\/p>\n

It's now been followed up with new vision of the 76ers star mixing it with the pros<\/a> in a game of pick-up in which he drains a deep three, hits contested jumpers and dishes out some nifty dimes.<\/p>\n

The NBA world, however, is reluctant to buy into the hype.<\/p>\n
