From April of 2019 to the present day, Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has had a rollercoaster year. The Ant Colony (is this trademarked?) grew after he led an inspiring comeback against the Kings with a 37-point outburst to clinch the third seed in the playoffs for the Blazers. It grew bigger when he dominated the Summer League, averaging 22 points on 56% shooting, including a scorching 65% from three (this is not a typo). And the colony expanded just a little bit more at the beginning of this season, as he looked increasingly capable as a sixth man for Portland, scoring in double-digits in seven of the first 10 games.
