Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Invisible again Monday
Anfernee Simons closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to the Pistons.Simons continues to be a non-factor for the Boston Celtics, scoring single digits for the third time in the past four games. While he was never really looked upon as a key piece for Boston, Simons' production has fallen short of even the biggest skeptics. In 26 appearances, he is averaging 13.0 points and 2.3 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top-200 players in standard formats. At this point, there is no reason to be holding him outside of deeper formats.
