Every time I see Jonathon Simmons on the court it reminds of how we were all robbed of a whole year of exciting action from Ben Simmons. I can’t help it. Seeing the name “Simmons” on the back of a jersey, it doesn’t even matter what color, I get all riled up. Making this vid was a real struggle, I think I took about 10 breaks to go and watch some Ben Simmons highlights from college.
Jonathon Simmons’ success story through the D-League is really heartwarming and all, but he doesn’t have the flair of Ben. Even his dunks aren’t as good as they were last year, I’ve seen them all, I would know. He’s been working on his jumper, that’s great, he showed it off nicely in this game, but can he run the offense as a forward?
This isn’t Jonathon’s fault. It’s my fault. I’m the one who feels this way, and it’s unfair to him to blame him for my own irrational thoughts. But I just want to see one game of the number one pick, dammit, I got all hyped for him and the hype is justing sitting there waiting to be released and I have to wait for so many more months.
