Good athlete who also rebounds well. </p> <hr /> <h3 style="text-align: center;">[player_tooltip player_id="964861" first="Simon" last="Palmer"] | PF | West Branch</h3> <p>An active big man who runs the floor and can stretch it with the ability to shoot it from 3.

He's an efficient, athletic forward who runs the floor, scores at the bucket, and rebounds at a high clip. </p>
