San Antonio Spurs swingman Jonathon Simmons keeps showing off his crazy hops at Las Vegas Summer League. In a semifinal game on Sunday, Simmons burst down the lane, elevated and threw it down hard.
Simmons scored 19 points off the bench on 7-for-14 shooting in San Antonio's 75-68 win over the Atlanta Hawks. He added eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block for the summer Spurs, who will face either the New Orleans Pelicans or Phoenix Suns in the championship game on Monday.
The Vines are fun, and Simmons' emergence seemingly out of nowhere is a great story. He went undrafted in 2012, spent the last two years in the D-League and San Antonio signed him to a two-year contract while he was playing for the Brooklyn Nets in the Orlando Summer League. He's been fantastic for the Spurs in Vegas, showing signs that he could be a rotation player down the road.
