He does need to put on weight/muscle. But yeah I think his 6'9" wing along with his verticle leap does offset how tall he is.
Simons is a legit 6’4, like CJ, but longer. Dame is 6’2 at best. I’ve stood next to him, and he was around my height..6’1.
I can see Simons and change for a John Collins or Aaron Gordon type deal. I don't think Simons has superstar potential but I do think he's a rotation player in this league. Starter? I don't think so. He'd have to be a 2. He's not a 1.
