Memphis Grizzlies Summer League Player Reviews: Kobi Simmons

The 20-year old Kobi Simmons had an underwhelming season at the University of Arizona, but decided to go pro after one year despite much criticism from the college basketball world. Although undrafted, the point guard signed a two-way player contract with the Memphis Grizzlies just a couple weeks ago.

What I like:

Immediately upon watching Simmons take the floor, I noticed one thing: explosiveness. He can blow by defenders with his quick first step, allowing himself to get an easier shot at the basket. The 6-foot-4 guard flew above other players, snagging rebounds from high in the air with his 38.
