Detroit should sign Kobi Simmons to a two-way deal

Kobi Simmons is a 21-year-old, 6’5 point guard who secured 32 games (20.1 minutes per game) of NBA experience under his belt during his rookie season with the Memphis Grizzlies last year. Kobi went undrafted out of the University of Arizona in 2017, and not long after he signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, splitting time with the big club as well as their G-League affiliate last season.

After Summer League this year, Simmons was waived by the Grizzlies, making him a free agent. He’s still a free agent as of this writing — and has been recently working out with at least one NBA team with reports saying Simmons, along with several other free agents with NBA experience such as Tyler Ulis, Brandon Paul and Rodney Purvis, were involved in workouts with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the end of last week.
