Anfernee Simons is obviously the 76ers’ answer to starters’ downfall
The Philadelphia 76ers have been one of the best teams in the league this season. Most people could have predicted that reality heading into the season. They have one of the most stacked starting lineups in the league. But the starters aren’t great three-point shooters. Most of them, at least. That’s why Anferenee Simons is so important.
Simons isn’t going to start. Nor should he. But his coming off the bench and draining a ton of threes gives the Sixers some much-needed balance throughout the course of games. That’s exactly what happened on Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors. His shot-making helped lift the 76ers to a bounce-back victory after their loss to the Boston Celtics.
