He seems to be a pretty good shooter, something the Spurs desperately need. And for shooter he seems to be pretty good in terms of athleticism and ball-handling abili es too.
Is this guy going to be available today for Summer league play, or is he done?

Nice pic of you on the Jean-Charles & Danny boat
He's a shooting guard with the size of a point guard. Simmons, on the other hand, is big and long.
I hope you're right. His summer league sitting stats I saw were not impressive.
his pre-draft analysis from a few years back is an interesting read:

Simmons has relatively short arms.
Dumb..desperate and why?
Why on Earth is them signing a 15th man either dumb or desperate?
Monday game sit right in archive. Only need quarter 3. Left armband guy.
Not surprising .. you're not an NBA GM or front office guy. You're out of your element ... like most people here.
Simmons replacement I reckon. Seems to have a nice stroke and a spring in his step from the highlights of summer league.
It might be a two way contract.
I see some Dion Waiters in his game. Hope his game will be translated to NBA immediately and hoping his defense is decent.
Looks like Dimmons game with a better jump shot. And at a better price.
Mi abuelita has better form.
yeah, how dare we renounce a guard as we sign a guard
You're absolutely right. I have no problem being an average fan. Lol, this forum sometimes
Nice and you have this one also http://www.nbadraft.net/players/brandon-paul
it, I'm on the bandwagon of this dude. I hope he gets some playing time.

While averaging 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from three-point range across seven games, Paul averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 steals for the Cavs’ Summer League squad while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from three-point range.
Paul possesses a smooth offensive game. With solid ball-handling and the ability to make pull-up jumpers if he doesn’t make it to the rim, where he has a quick leap to finish above the tin, he’s been an effective scorer not only throughout the Summer League but against players like the Golden State Warriors’ Patrick McCaw, a player who received minutes in the 2017 NBA Finals and was a rookie sensation in the eyes of the Warriors’ fan base throughout the 2016-2017 season.
Defensively, Paul’s ability to play his defenders close without fouling is accentuated by his tenacity and hustle. Against the most elite players in the NBA, Paul isn’t likely to stop them but will make it as hard as he possibly can for them to score. That’s a defensive trait that may not show up statistically but is admirable; young players making it to the NBA in the manner that Paul is, as a Summer League pickup, are the players that are grinders. Those grinders are players that you’ll need on your team at some point in the season.
Paul is a grinder who should be able to score effectively against second unit players and, if he’s anything like Jonathan Simmons, score effectively period.
Being able capable of making the tough jumpers as well as having the ability to consistently create space for himself to get off an in-rhythm field goal attempt is a bonus for the 26-year-old Illinois native.
After doing some research on him, looks like a solid signing. He's got nba level athleticism, should be able to create his own shot, might be able to run point in a pinch, and has a good looking shooting stroke.
Low risk, high reward. I'm on board.
Still want another big though who can block a shot.
don't put it past popovich of having an all guard lineup in the 4th quarter of a game 6 in the playoffs with danny Green at center
It's just so bad the Spurs traded him a few years back
Oops, meant to say mediocre guard. Also Simmons can play the 3.
Damn, you're right. Now the Spurs only have five players who can play the three instead of six.
