That process has started in earnest by bringing in Anfernee Simons to serve as the third guard off the bench.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHelping them out as much as I can, whether it\u2019s handling the ball or being off the ball and giving them space to work,\u201d Simons said, \u201cwhether it\u2019s giving them a break and letting me go out there and have the ball in my hands, just doing anything it takes for us to be successful as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>After spending most of his seven seasons in Portland primarily as a starter, Simons was traded to the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2025-26 season and took on a bench role.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAt first it was just me figuring out what the game needs at that time,\u201d Simons said, \u201cwhether it\u2019s going out there and just being aggressive instantly [when] we\u2019re struggling to score the ball, or whether it\u2019s feeling  out the game, just continuing to compete on the defensive end, and letting my shots come to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He averaged 14.2 points in 24.5 minutes for Boston in 49 appearances before being traded to the Chicago Bulls at the deadline. Simons\u2019 season ended soon after because of a wrist injury, which he said will not impact him heading into next season.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Simons should also help the Sixers\u2019 three-point shooting, something the team struggled with for most of last year. The Sixers attempted 35.3 threes per game last year, which rated 21st in the NBA, and made 34.9% of them, good for 23rd in the NBA. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2174\">As Folarin Balogun reflects on his world exploding, Belgium rejoices over beating the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Simons shot 39.5% from three last year with Boston, averaged 6.7 attempts, which is more than every Sixers last season except Maxey and Paul George. That three-point shooting threat also opens the floor for Joel Embiid down low, with Simons as another catch-and-shoot option out wide.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a force in himself,\u201c Simons said. \u201dMost of the time, the attention is always going to be on him&#8230; I love to get catch and shoots, if that\u2019s what the game allows me to get. It just makes it easier for everybody else, and it\u2019ll easier job for me to be able to go out there and just space the floor for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Simons also has experience playing with fellow new Sixer Jaylen Brown in Boston. After Simons was traded to Chicago at the deadline, Brown spoke glowingly of Simons as a teammate.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Simons, who stands at 6-foot-3, knows he could spend time alongside Maxey (6-2) or Edgecombe (6-4). The Sixers could also move Brown to the power forward spot at times like they did with George last year. With a smaller lineup, he stressed the importance of being locked in and aligned defensively to counteract the height disadvantage, and said Brown is the \u201cepitome\u201d of a two-way player.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe is going to guard the best player and go out there and give you 30,\u201d Simons said. \u201cI think that\u2019s what makes him special, what makes him different.
