Rookie wall. Usually happens to players who have never played the number of games an NBA season demands.
This. He needs to develop a decent jump shot to keep teams somewhat honest.

Yeah, I was thinking about those stories the other day. I was actually thinking he could be cut with how poorly he's been playing lately.at those premature "he made it" stories on ESPN/SAExpress....
Where did I say that?
According to Hater he's better than Manu.
Pop tends to castrate rookies.
Better than fat head, that's for sure
He was never that good, which is what some of us have been saying since the beginning
He's a nice energy player that excels in transition and provides entertainment with his finishing ability at the rim..this happens all the time in the NBA, a player breaks out for a few weeks, but can't adjust when opposing teams have a scouting report on him..
When certain posters on ST(the guys that are always wrong, which is a large portion) like or hate somebody, you generally need to go with the opposite of their sentiment
His story is great, though, which is why he got recognition in the first place..
No I said Kyle Anders > manu. Simmons is as good as Manu. Well was, now he's going through a rough patchAccording to Hater he's better than Manu.
Anderson is not close to being better than Manu.
Not referring to the Manu debate y'all are having^ when I say this, but the general Anderson hate is funny... Since he's gonna be a big reason we beat Golden State.
Why sell yourself short? Bonner>Manu
Jesus Gomez said he was a scrub.You should of listened to him.
tbh, with his athleticism and the fact that Van Gundy pumped him up on 3 games on national TV, he'll probably find a team as soon as the Spurs release him....He was never that good, which is what some of us have been saying since the beginning

Jeff Van Gundy and mainstream media.
JVG and rest of the dolts are still pumping the Methlahoma City bandwagon.Ghetto blacks in the media like Jalen Rose pump up ghetto black teams like Thunder and ignore civilized black teams like the Spurs who are not ghetto blacks or black-blacks.
It's dumb like this that makes me question whether or not I should post here. 's sake.Jeff Van Gundy and mainstream media.

If they do release him, he will find another team I agree, but send him to the 76ers and you will see preseason Simmons reappear. FWIW, it should not make Spurs feel guilty or anything if he's waived bc it's not like his career would be over. His time in the Spurs served him well either way.
Hater was the only one making that bold statement, but about 75%of the forum was hyping up Simms as Manu's heir, there are multiple threads about it. Was a bit overboard.
On the Anderson front, yes he will factor in the postseason. Him getting all this time at 3 different spots and with different lineups started bc of injuries but we went 12-1 despite the injuries and he is now on the CIA Pop front. He's had multiple games over 20 minutes recently and might have easily averaged over 20 mins from the beginning of February on. He's a roleplayer but his defensive versatility will be handy. POP might even be getting his credibility with referees up with this much playing time.
Simmons is raw. He made some good passes and showed some poise. We need smarter players, not more athletic ones.
Because you bring so much.
I still expect Simmons to be a part of Spurs TNG. It is a mistake for folks to dismiss him as merely athletic. Pop and Becky both have praised his court vision and his ability to make plays for his teammates. He is going through a fairly typical first season in the NBA. He is on a pendulum. He was a little too aggressive to start the season. He was playing over his head at the NBA level. Some times it worked pretty well, and sometimes it backfired, resulting in scads of turnovers on offensive and bad lapses and fouls on defense. Last game against the Kings, he got his first decent minutes in the first half in quite a few games, and he played too passively - presumably to show Pop some measure of control. Working with the Spurs' coaches I think he will find the right combination of aggressive athleticism and control and be a good rotation player. Were he to go to another team at this juncture, I suspect that he would be out of the NBA in a year.

Simmons would do well if he has an Alonzo Gee--type career. I think teams will give him a couple million ever year even though he may not be a consistent rotation player. He really needs to focus on being a defender, though. His offense is fine enough for a guy who will not be a lead off the bench. But he'll need a role, and being a plus on that end is the key to sticking in the league.
I'd like to see Chip get his shot release a lil faster like he did with Kawhi's
