If you can convince Simmons that he's the PG in transition (and he generates a lot of transition opportunities on his own with his defense) and once you play against a set defense, he turns into a supercharged version of Dwight Powell, it might work very well.
Has Simmons shown any hint of being a roll man? The idea is great, but you are talking turning a player who already seems to have motivational issues into something he is not currently. If that does not pan out, its hard to see how a Simmons/Luka pairing works offensively.
