BADGE: FLASH ⚡

Flash represents movement without the ball during transition on offense and defense. It highlights the importance of getting up the floor, filling open lanes and recovering quickly when possession changes.

At 6-foot-2, Simmons is a player to evaluate for how he moves in those situations. Recognizing when to sprint ahead, when to fill a lane and when to get back defensively can help a player contribute without needing to control the ball.

Boogs Take:

Transition basketball rewards players who recognize the moment and move immediately. Getting into the right lane offensively or recovering before the defense gives up an easy opportunity can change a possession. Those habits are worth developing early.
