Sixers guard Anfernee Simons back in the gym working on his jumper

The 8-year veteran guard from IMG Academy, Anfernee Simons, is set to make a significant impact off the bench for the Philadelphia 76ers. In the previous season, Simons averaged 14.3 points and shot 38.5% from three-point range in 55 games split between the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. The Sixers have faced challenges in getting reliable production from their second unit, and Simons aims to address this issue.

He is currently back at the gym at Temple University to fine-tune his jumper and capitalize on the numerous catch-and-shoot opportunities he will receive with the Sixers. With the presence of players like Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and Tyrese Maxey on the roster, Simons understands the importance of being an efficient catch-and-shoot player for Philadelphia.

He possesses the ability to make tough three-pointers under pressure, as well as create open shots for himself and others through his movement on and off the ball. Simons is poised to be a valuable contributor to the Sixers' second unit in the upcoming season.
