Forget the jump shot concerns for a moment. Simmons is easily a top 15 player in the NBA right now due to the fact that he does everything else at such an elite level. He can get to the rim and finish, he can lock up the opponent’s top scorer, he’s an elite rebounder, and he has great vision. He won Rookie of the Year in 2018 and he has made two All-Star games already. At 23-years old, the sky is the limit for him and if he continues to work hard and develop, he will be on his way to having his number hung in the rafters at Wells Fargo Center.
