SOS, I have a question about Simmons and figured it didn't need its own thread.

I have watched his highlights, and a majority of them are him getting in the paint/to the basket and finishing there. He also appears to be very athletic and seems to handle the ball very well for someone his size. My question is, can he shoot from the outside? How will we use him? Do you think he is most dangerous getting the ball on the wing where he can shoot or drive, or do you think he is more effective inside? TIA.

He will likely replace Martin at the 3 spot and play very similar to him. He can shoot from outside, but with the way he plays inside, you want him to go inside as much as possible.

His mid range stuff is good. He isn't necessarily a 40% 3 point shooter, but he has sufficient shooting ability to keep defenses honest.
