Everyone leaves their man to stop him. At least two players in the wings have wide open three's and Simmons will get them the ball no problem.

Well of course you TRY to guard them all, but if you have multiple screens, you have to decide who is worth switching extra defenders on and who isn't. If every player on the court is a threat to hit a game winner, it really forces every single defender to play excellent defense. One breakdown and a great shot can be had.

We ran a play to Martin a few times this year where he curls off two screens and gets the ball near the shoulder with his weight going to the basket. I could see similar being done to Simmons but with more options available to him so he can pass to an open shooter if he doesn't have the lane.
If LSU doesn't get a little creative with out of bounds plays next year with all the shooters we will have, I will be disappointed.
