Jackson Simmons looks to prove himself
Posted Jun 26, 2012
Roy Williams told Jackson Simmons to focus on improving as a basketball player this summer. He’s trying to put his game together—defense, rebounding and scoring. But he’s also focused on the little things like taking charges and diving after loose balls. In pick-up games at the Dean Dome, Simmons bangs with James Michael McAdoo and Desmond Hubert, both of whom have a height advantage on him.
