How do you think his passing/decision making project? I haven't really been able to get a good handle on that. Also how do you think his season would have went if he went to Louisville? I wonder if he's so talented that he could have put up Malik Monk numbers, or if he was too raw to put up good counting stats.
He's really not bad at PG, I like his handle, he's very shifty while keeping the ball very low which is something I am actually big on.... they had him playing next to another combo at IMG Eric Ayala who's gonna be a good guard in college, actually he's kinda like Jerome Robinson, but I digress. Simons is good at dumpoff type of passes and he's particularly effective on the break. He's got legit burst to keep these defenders honest, he's both explosive and finesse.
Simons can develop into a fulltime PG, in a sort of Jeff teague type of capacity IMO. He's got good awareness.
Simons can get white scalding hot for sure he'd have put up an easy 15-5-5 for Louisville and been the star of their offense.
He'd destroy thru college, he's not THAT raw...
Simons UL season could've gone like D'Angelo Russells at OSU as far as im concerned he could've really blown up. No oubt in my mind he'd go near the lottery next szn.
You have this AWESOMELY talented SG in next years draft named Romeo Langford but of the pure guards there's a steep decline in talent after him and Anfernee Simons absolutely would've been one of the very next in line.
He's gambling on himself here, taking the $ upfront and the opportunity to hit the free market a year earlier, rather than waiting another year and getting double upfront.. This is not some short-term $$$ grab, strike while the iron's hot ********, Anfernee Simons has MAJOR staying power and is betting on it...
the selling point for the Jazz is simple, he's possibly a guard to put next to Mitchell that makes the offense even more difficult to contain.
