Simmons highlights at the NBPA Camp... against the best of the best Makes it look easy too. Its easy to tell which 1 Maker is.... he still looks like an alien


Can the dude do anything but dunk? Holy shite. He makes Oklahoma Blake Griffin look versatile.

Dude looks like an undersized power forward to me. He will be great in college, but nothing special as an NBA prospect.

Dude.... watch more of his highlights. That was just from the NBPA camp.

Hes a SF and can dribble like a PG and fill it up from 3.

Just watch this highlight: LINK

His handles for a 6'9 JR is just ridiculous. He already has better handles than Griffin does and its not that close. And his vision, passing ability, and bball IQ is off the charts for a kid this young. Watch him in transition. And his shot is perfect. His jump shot is graded a 9 out of 10 on his nbadraft page. He can shoot the ball. And on his NBAdraft page is also says he has no weakness right now and they had to nitpick for him, which they rarely do.

And most high school highlight reels from big time recruits are typically just dunking due to the huge difference in talent level. Rarely is there anyone of the floor that can stop them from driving and dunking at the high school level.
