Should the Boston Celtics take a chance on former Los Angeles Clippers big man Ben Simmons? The Celtics have been connected to Simmons by recent reporting from the Stein Line, one of several ball clubs reportedly considering kicking the tires on bringing on the controversial vet forward, to the chagrin of a large chunk of the storied ball club’s fan base.

The reasoning behind that trepidation — based in their memories of Simmons travails while he was suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before that — is sound, but a case can be made that the Australian swingman has found his professional footing, and could be the sort of high-upside signing Boston needs to improve their roster for the future.
