Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons is off to a rocky start with the Boston Celtics. The main issue, which is something Blazers fans know all too well, is that he's struggled with inconsistent play. Still, it wasn't quite this extreme in Portland, as Simons appears to be having a more difficult time finding his rhythm in Boston due to a more limited role and fewer minutes, among other factors.
It's a catch-22: the Celtics don't know what version of Simons they are getting offensively on a nightly basis, making it harder to justify minutes in a crowded backcourt, given his glaring defensive limitations as well.
