Simons is a downhill scorer and pull-up shooter who jumped straight from prep basketball to the Trail Blazers, where he grew into a 20-point-a-night lead guard known for deep range and a quick trigger. The 2025-26 season was a whirlwind: he opened it in Boston after a summer trade, coming off the bench and averaging in the low teens, then got moved again at February's deadline to Chicago in the Nikola Vucevic swap. His Bulls stint barely got going — a lingering wrist injury shut him down after a handful of games. A free agent this summer, he drew wide interest before agreeing to a two-year deal with Philadelphia. His shot-making has never been the question; the fit and the health are what teams are betting on.
