Kobi Simmons is without a doubt a story that anyone would root for. His father has been his trainer since he was little, and his brother has been making his highlight films throughout high school and college at the University of Arizona.
At the University of Arizona, Simmons played spot minutes, and played a solid role off the bench. Does not sound like a guy that should be entering the NBA Draft, right? Wrong, Simmons and his family bet on each other.
A bet that lead to being a Memphis Grizzly. When Simmons was showing out for Memphis in Summer League, he was without a doubt lock for one of the two way contracts with the team.
