re: You won't believe this! - LSU recruit touted as combo of Larry Bird & Magic!!

And another comparison of Simmons to Magic and Bird is his position. Simmons is a POINT FORWARD. Meaning he has outstanding ball handling skills. Bird played a Point Forward position meaning he can bring the ball up court against pressure. Magic was a point guard/forward meaning he can bring the ball upcourt against pressure.

Magic, Bird, Pippen, Durant, Lebron are the ultimate POINT Forwards, and Simmons has the same skillset as those mentioned. These guys create mismatches against ANY forwards/guards that try to defend them. They are to quick for a power forward to defend, to tall for a small forward, and can see over a point guard. Therefore the POINT FORWARD position was created.
