Some of you are just way too extreme with the anti-Simmons stuff. And I'm just not seeing it outside of CP. I'm starting to think we have some groupthink going on here.
It's one thing to be concerned about the injury and not wanting to take the risk. It's another to pretend he isn't a top 15 talent when healthy that has no business being available at 31 otherwise.

He absolutely was a top 15 talent.
The issue is that, even if he is what is “healthy” for him now, the athleticism and explosion off that leg might not be the same as it was before the injury.
Most of the guy who suffer this injury lose some explosiveness coming back from it. Even when healthy and cleared to play.
Healthy Simmons now just might not ever be what healthy Simmons was before.
