Simmons needs a team where he's on the floor with other scorers to relieve him of pressure. Other teammates that desire to score the ball. He can't be a "second banana" type of player, he just doesn't have that type of scoring ability.
Honestly, before the Celtic married Smart, and traded for Schroder. I was half picturing him here. He's an incredible defender, can cover
1 thru 5, is an excellent passer, he scores at the rim well too...and at just 25 YO, I can't see why he couldn't improve enough at the line to not be a "hack target." You have to wonder if he actually works at it off season?
The problem for me was... at what cost? Philly has him over-valued IMO.
