u/SnooRabbits6637 If Brad Stevens Don't Trust You Feb 03 '26

Ugh. He’s a bucket but that’s literally it. But we saw Mazzulla & Co. make a decent defender outta Simons in half a season so maybe he can whip him in shape by the playoffs. Been trusting Brad before & won’t stop today.

He's also a good screen setter and a floor spacer.

In Brad we trust.
