Anfernee Simons

Sharing a court with Damian Lillard for the past five seasons has brought out the best in Anfernee Simons. Simons takes a page out of Lillard’s book from downtown against the Utah Jazz, drilling a stepback three-pointer even with Malik Beasley draped all over him on the defensive end. It was one of the best performances of Simons’ career to date as he poured in 45 points on 15 of 25 from the field — including a pristine 7 for 12 behind the arc — along with two rebounds, four assists and two blocks in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 116-111 triumph on December 3, 2022.
