“I’m just being me,” explained Simmons. “I feel like when I’m locked in and ready to go out there, defensively, it’s tough for anybody to really score on me or take advantage of certain mismatches, but I feel like I’m a dominant defender when I’m locked in and ready to go."
"I don’t really care who I’m guarding,” Simmons added. “I just love the challenge of holding guys to less than whatever they’re averaging and just doing my part."
