I mean so far the benchmark isn´t exactly high. Play in more than 50% of games. Play solid defense. Simmons is without a doubt even better than the current engaged version of KP on defense. Provide more than 14ppg on 35/25/80 splits on offense.
And the crazy part is that people are already happy with his performance. According to the majority of this board that´s an improvement compared to last season.
Now don´t get me wrong. I have seen some flashes. If KP stays healthy, gets it all together and is willing to accepts a lesser role on offense he could be great.
Question is what is the more likely scenario. That happening or Simmons getting over his mental issues? If I am being honest I don´t think that either scenario is very likely.
