Simmons Joins Kings as Defensive Game-Changer | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings — and this could be a game-changer. A former No. 1 pick and two-time All-Defensive First Teamer, Simmons brings elite defense, ball-handling, and switchability that could instantly upgrade the Kings’ perimeter and frontcourt. While his shooting has long been a concern, his godfather says he’s regaining confidence and even working on his jumper — which could unlock his offensive potential. If healthy, Simmons might not just be a defensive anchor but an All-Star-caliber force, helping Sabonis and Raynaud while running the offense off the bench. This move could finally turn the Kings’ season around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
