#24 Anfernee Simons

[DaLincolnJones]

I miss those little triangular wing windows cars used to have...

Astro Ventilation for the win

 

[Scalma]

Lets hope. He might not be smart enough to play though. He didn't play any college ball.

-Simons blossomed into one of the top 10 prep prospects in the country and committed to Louisville. But after the school became a target of the FBI's probe into college basketball corruption, Simons backed off his pledge and decided to turn professional instead.

 

[James lamphear]

Let see what he can do in summer league

The "One and Done...Done?" thread ended 3 days ago. I was going to reawaken it, but I see that it got distracted into politics. So we need a new debate about keeping a year of college mandatory. I'm in favor of it.

A high school draftee needs to be big for his position, or else he'll be a long-term project.

When we drafted Telfair, I was shocked because he was the smallest high schooler I'd ever seen drafted. Simons is 6-3 (slightly smaller than average for a PG, a shrimp for a SG) and weighed 181 (a diminutive Tom Thumb at either guard position) when last measured.

 

[riverman]

I bet we will. No trades and 1 MLE signing.

I don't see Ed Davis, Pat Connaughton or Bazz coming back...those positions will be filled...we'll field a different rotation next season...probably see a lot more Meyers and Pappa G next season off the bench

Seeing more of Meyers and Pappa G would be a disaster.

 

[Scalma]

It’s more likely we use the TPE than signing someone with the MLE. The latter is the players choice

Lol good one.

So we get worse? Yikes.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Seeing more of Meyers and Pappa G would be a disaster.

I like you, Cat.

Simons is 6-4, which is definitely above average for a PG, and wingspan matters.

 

[Scalma]

God give me Musa.

 

[BonesJones]

God give me Musa.

Forgot he's there. Solid talent at the top of the 2nd.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

One can only hope that PA opems the pocket book up and buys a few half way decent second round picks to make up for this

 

[BonesJones]

Read that Simons is a sponge. I likenthe idea of Dame and CJ mentoring him offensively.

 

[Scalma]

God give me Musa.

Fuck you god.

 

[riverman]

all I said was it would be different next season...not better...and I should add that playing Meyers early he'd have a tiny window before the mid season trade dealine to build some trade value...Papa G is out there to use his fouls when Nurk or Zach are in foul trouble

[Eastoff]

Ed is coming back

 

[Scalma]

Read that Simons is a sponge. I likenthe idea of Dame and CJ mentoring him offensively.

I bet everyone will come around on him eventually.

 

[riverman]

Ed is coming back

I hope so, really do but I read he put his house up for sale in Portland and I think he wants to start for a change and get paid

Like sponge Bob? pffft I have zero respect for a first round pick that has faced boys and girls club talent...top ten or what ever projected..that means squat till you up your game

 

[theprunetang]

I love the pick. I think in 4 years, people will wonder how their GM missed him.

 

[Scalma]

Are we done?

 

[Scalma]

I love the pick. I think in 4 years, people will wonder how their GM missed him.

I wonder what would’ve happened had he gone to Louisville. Might’ve been a lottery pick. Did you see who LA took? Lol

 

[andalusian]

A good place to take a gamble, the 24th pick. It probably means that they expect Bazz to be too expensive and go elsewhere.

 

[riverman]

Small skinny pt guards like Steph Curry, Steve Nash, Mark Price, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Mugsy Bogues, Rod Strickland.... yeah...that never works out

 

[Jade Falcon]

I didn't know he never went to college.

Look at him! He's practically a child.



I hate Neil Olshey so, so much. So much.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Let see what he can do in summer league

I doubt he can match Biggie's championship run!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I love the pick. I think in 4 years, people will wonder how their GM missed him.

What team will he be on then?
