Anfernee Simons has the respect of many.
Simons committed to Louisville after attending high school in Orlando, Florida. However, after Rick Pitino’s team were the subject of an FBI investigation, Simons decommitted and instead enrolled for a fifth year of high school at IMG Academy.
The 6’4”, 185-pound Simons averaged 22.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists during his fifth year of high school. How is he eligible for the draft? Simons is one year removed from school and will be 19 years old by draft night, thus meeting the NBA’s criteria.
Simons has effective combo guard skills but needs to get stronger to fully become a force in the league.
