The Trail Blazers used the No. 24 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft to select promising 19-year-old guard Anfernee Simons. Portland already has an established backcourt, but that doesn’t mean that Simons won’t infuse the current rotation with offensive talent. Simons elected to go straight to the NBA instead of playing at Louisville next season, which has limited his exposure to most basketball fans.
In an attempt to get a better idea about what Simons will bring to the Blazers, we asked Brian Freeman and Steve Dewald to share their thoughts on his fit.
