Fantasy Impact:
Simmons led the NBA in steals with 2.1 per contest. As a 6'10" point guard, Simmons has established himself as one of the premier defenders in the NBA with his ability to guard every position from guard to center. Simmons is an exceptional talent, and this could be the start of him being honored annually amongst his peers for his defensive prowess. Before undergoing a season-ending injury, Simmons averaged 16.4 points, 8.0 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks across 57 games played.
