As the Portland Trail Blazers swap out Damian Lillard for Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons’ role is bound to change a little bit.
Simons was a complementary guard for Lillard and eventually could be one for Henderson, but as a 19-year-old rookie, Scoot isn’t expected to take over immediately.
While Henderson has a higher ceiling than Simons, that doesn’t mean Ant won’t play a key role on the Blazers this year, but will he get in the rookie’s way?
Bleacher Report’s Adam Fromal says that there could be pressure from Simons to delay the inevitable and make Henderson the best guard on the team.
