This is unusual for Neil. Only explanation is if someone important didn't get to meet with him the first time.
He characterized his last workout as "his best yet." https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest...bring-wild-card-teenage-guard-anfernee-simons Maybe they want to confirm that it wasn't a flash in the pan. On a similar note, the history behind Mitchell last year was that he blew everyone away when he worked out in Utah (when they didn't even have a pick), and management made sure that info was kept under wraps while they worked to move into the draft for a pick.
Mentioned this before but Simons seems like another Collins from a physical standpoint. Seemingly not ready but his skills may get him on the court anyway. But I’m not gonna pretend like I have some extensive knowledge about his game, this is just based off a couple clips and things I’ve read. Still don’t see us keeping the pick though.
Trainer in video compares him to Klay. So we’re definitely going to draft him and trade CJ. This is our Monta Ellis moment right?
I don't like Simons as our Pick. We need help now and not in 3-4 years. I can't Imagine Dame is Happy about that.
Conspiracy theory: Blazers putting the spotlight on Simons to take the attention off their real target, maybe Musa.
Thats a guy we could need, but not another 18 year old skinny kid who needs years to develop like Simons
Exactly. Would love to develop him but no way he goes at 24 from what I have seen. Unless he is the start of the tankathon followed by trading Dame and CJ. He won’t hurt the tank for several years and then could be good.
Despite the age difference and height difference, when I watch Musa I can't help but think about Petro. Musa just turned 19, I would totally roll the dice on him. I just don't think he will still be on the board.
Yeah but he played against pros and plays a Position we have need. I take musa over Simons in our win now situation
