Simons is in the midst of a post-graduate season with IMG Academy, which means he has the ability to skip college ball and go directly to the draft. While that might be a risk — both for Simons and whoever drafts him — he could be worth it as a top-10 prospect in the 2019 class.

So, natrually, we’ll let him slide to the Warriors. Simons already has fluid shot mechanics, shifty handles and penty of upside as an isolation scorer.

Filling out his frame and establishing consistency would be the primary focus, but Simons a nice long-term investment for a Warriors team that’s already equipped to win the championship.
