The second leg of a weeklong scouting trip that started up north at the G-League Showcase brought the Front Office to the HoopHall Classic in Springfield, Massachusetts. At least two dozen future pro prospects took the court over the weekend (many of whom we detailed in yesterday’s column), but only one of them might hear his named called in this year’s draft. And so at least a dozen NBA scouts descended on Sunday to watch Anfernee Simons take the court.
Simons (pronounced like Simon Says) turns 19 in June and is finishing up a postgrad year at IMG Academy, making him eligible for this year’s draft.
