Fans of the Bobcats know that the offense runs through Antonio Campbell, but without Jaaron Simmons the ball would rarely make it to Campbell.
Now in his red shirt junior season, Saul Phillips’s point guard Jaaron Simmons is one of, if not the best passer in the nation heading into the 2016-17 season. Simmons finished the 15-16 season with 275 assists, over 110 more than second place Rayshawn Simmons in the MAC.
Simmons’s 7.9 assists per game placed him third in the country last season, and he was also 36th nationwide with over 36 minutes per game.
