"Bucket Week" continues with rising star Anfernee Simons, an extremely talented, scoring guard from the Portland Trail Blazers.
So far in 2022-23, Simons is putting up over 22 points/night - his shooting touch from deep is pure & he can really mix it up w/ a variety of step backs, floaters & finishes inside the arc.
One of the best new acquisitions in early NBA season, Jerami Grant is a bucket. His impact on Portland’s lineup is massive: Grant gives them a very efficient, go-to scorer from the perimeter who can get his own looks and alleviate a ton of pressure off both Damian Lillard & Anfernee Simons in the lineup.
Vol. 1 of his mix highlights his much improved J (from mid & long range), tough drives to the rim & clutch scoring.
