I always enjoy watching Simmons play even if she is far from a finished product. Gigi is a bit of a gunslinger, a gifted performer who is willing to take chances because she has the talent to make plays other players her age simply can’t. At 5-foot-11, the Stewartville guard has the size, strength and athleticism college coaches covet. Big guards are always in short supply, aren’t they? There were times on Sunday when Simmons simply overpowered opponents, getting downhill with a quick first step or rising over defenders on the perimeter. She can knock down threes with confidence, although her shooting tends to be streaky. Gigi plays with personality, too. She’s vocal and competitive and wears her heart on her sleeve. With terrific basketball bloodlines, Gigi’s raw material is exceptional and we’re excited to see how it all unfolds.
