If you aren’t familiar with Simons' story, the Central Florida native decided to forego college and enter the NBA Draft after playing for IMG Academy in his post-graduate year. His parents, who are big Orlando Magic fans, named their son after Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. One of his best attributes is his 3-point shooting. He has a very quick release and is a reliable shooter off the dribble, when he comes around a screen, and when spotting up.
Simons also has a very quick first step. He routinely beats defenders off the dribble and he does a great job protecting the ball on his drives.
