Simmons is being an idiot on this one. Parkers strength is driving the ball and jkiddo is smart enough to make sure he doesn't get picked off and stays in front of him. He forces him to be a jump-shooter which is what more folks should do.
It's a different defensive philosophy than the littlest colonel had. Avery wanted a switch on every pick...jkiddo is more comfortable fighting through it, going under or beating the player to the pick. It was another reason jkiddo had a hard time adjusting to avery.
