He has point-forward written all over him


Most people who've never played just see a 6'8 guy & laugh at the thought. I understand, it's not their fault. They don't know.

I could definitely see a point forward position for him. His dribbling and passing skills are already better than some NBA PGs

He wouldn't even be the first. Magic Johnson played point guard at 6'9" and did pretty decent if I remember. I, however, agree with the person who said he be used like LeBron. A SF who facilitates the offense.

Magic Johnson was a point guard at 6'9" which is closer to what Simmons actually is. Up close he does not look 6'10". Simmons will wind of spending a great deal of time handling the ball on the point in both the break and half-court sets, regardless of what his starting position is. He's not going to be drafted and told to learn a new position. Guy is super smooth with the ball in his hands.
