The Portland Trail Blazers moved on from Anfernee Simons this summer, trading him to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jrue Holiday. Early on, it appears that Portland received the better end of that deal, as Simons has struggled to find his footing in Boston.
Simons is averaging just 13.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists on 41/38/83 shooting splits through eight games with the Celtics. Heading into the season, he was considered a Sixth Man of the Year candidate, which would have made it back-to-back Celtics after (Oregonian) Payton Pritchard took home the award last year.
