I hope he's got some PG in him because it will be quite a while before he is big/bulked up enough to play SG.

Simons is all PG. That's why I saw a future starter in Summer League. He dribbles around, patiently looking to pass, like a mole feeling for ants with its snout. The opposite is Trent, who is thinking at all times, minimize the patience and just shoot.

Every summer, some people here ridicule anyone drawing serious conclusions from SL and call it meaningless, but I get a lot out of it. SL showed me weaknesses of Meyers Leonard and McCollum years before such talk became fashionable.

EVAN TURNER


"Honestly, I’ve seen stuff on TV like that. I can’t remember seeing it in a while, probably since my second or third year in the league. Most people don’t really do it post-practice either. I haven’t really been with high flyers except Meyers, but he’s 7-feet, how impressive is that?

And he’s so quiet, which probably makes it even more crazy because he walks around, don’t really say much whatsoever. Haven’t seen him much since he came back from the G-League, we play basketball obviously, but he’s hella quiet so his skill set, when you see him again, just little things like looking at the rim, you’re like ‘Oh my god.’ You almost forget about what the future is about to hit for. He’s a talented kid and I think it’s a great teaser. But even saying it’s a great teaser is an understatement because you see him day in and day out, you break it down and a lot of people like ‘Hey, some 15 year old got into the game.’ I know he’s 19 but he looks like a kid, imagine how good he is, you know what I’m saying? It’s the truth. People like ‘Yo, there’s a baby on the bench’ and I’m like ‘Okay, imagine how good he is.


He’s really good, really talented, blessed with athleticism. We joke because we’re like, when you hit 190 pounds you won’t be that light to go toward the rim, but I doubt he’ll ever get to 190 pounds. He’s so light! That kid, man, I wasn’t too sure what we were going to get because he didn’t play in college but kid is really talented. He’s, in my personal opinion, a jewel."



MOE HARKLESS


"He usually doesn’t do stuff like that. We all give him a hard time because we know he can jump but that was the first time where he really tried to get up and jump as high as he could. He’s super athletic, we all know that, but that was pretty impressive (in Dallas).

"As much as we do see it or as much as we’re able to do it, it’s still hard. It’s still rare for someone at 6-4 to be able to get their head to the rim like that, looking at the rim. And it’s just the way he jumps, I think. It’s doesn’t look as powerful, it’s just so smooth. He sits in the air and it feel like he just keeps going up. It looks effortless, I think that’s probably the most impressive thing. His athleticism is top notch."



JAKE LAYMAN


"I’ve seen him a lot where he’s doing dunks after practice, he’s got a lot of bounce, as you can see. I’ve known it for a long time so it’s nothing new for me to see, but it’s still impressive. He’s one of the bounciest guys I’ve seen, for sure. It’s pretty incredible. Young legs!"



MEYERS LEONARD


"I think the thing that helps Anf is that, number one, he’s young and he’s also pretty light, but that’s not to take away the fact that the kid has absolute elite level of bounce. He’s very athletic. I think now, being with our strength and conditioning staff, deadlifting, doing things in the weight room on a consistent basis, to not only be athletic but to be strong, is helping him take it to even another level."



DAMIAN LILLARD


"There’s athleticism, there’s elite athleticism and then there’s what he can do."
 
Lillard's running scared about his replacement at PG.
 
During shoot around at OKC, the guys were trying to get him to do another big dunk. He was acting all shy and finally went up and put a real basic dunk down. Bunch of the players started booing him and throwing balls at him. Very funny. Kid is very young and humble. Quiet, shy kid, but very polite.

He needs a role model to help him grow hair on his chest, and you are the perfect man to help the teenager grow up. Take him home, introduce him to the little wife, and feed him dinner.

Change the name back, or unless you can't, pick a new one.

I'm waiting for him to show one of those dunks in game time. I just hope he doesn't have a chance for one and goes up for a pedestrian dunk.
 
Trying to think of a decent comp for Simons. Tallish, skinny, high flying point guard that can also shoot...

Livingston? I don't think it's a good comp - or at least it's way too early to tell - but tall, skinny PG fits. Also, not sure if Simons is a PG?

Just a word of advice, if you don't want them to know it's you, probably not a good idea to have your old name in the new name.
 
I'm really excited for him in the Future. Hopefully he will have a huge offseason

Not sure about “tore up the g league” but it’s nice to read anyway.
 
I can't wait for him to get more minutes.
I am very confident that watching his growth as a player is gonna be fun and his popularity/notoriety as a talent will skyrocket.
 
I hope he earns backup minutes next year.
