Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons is trending downward in The Ringer’s top 100 player rankings for the 2024-25 NBA season.
Bill Simmons, Danny Chau, Zach Kram, Rob Mahoney, Michael Pina, and Justin Verrier of The Ringer update the rankings regularly throughout the season, with the latest update coming on Nov. 20.
Simons placed No. 87, a considerable drop from his No. 78 ranking on Oct. 16. The drop isn’t too surprising, as Simons has gotten off to an uncharacteristically slow offensive start. The seventh-year guard is averaging just 16.3 points per game while shooting 30.7% from 3 in his first 14 appearances this season, after averaging 22.
