Unbiased opinion here...Simmons focuses a lot more on getting his own assists, Lonzo is just focused on the right pass whether it's a hockey assist or not.
Agree.. biggest difference is Simmons goes "assist hunting".. whereas Zo is more of an "empowering passer" with his hockey assists and passing the ball up court versus quickly dribbling it up. You don't see that type of unselfishness from pgs in either era to be honest.. Even pass first pgs from both eras prefer to have the ball in their hands to set up scoring plays. Lonzo will give it up early as he trusts his teammates and he knows good things will happen more times than not...

I agree. The difference between Lonzo and the other players pass first pg's is that Lonzo doesn't dominate the ball. If you watch Wizards games, John Wall dominates the ball. If you go back to the Celtic's teams with Rondo, he dominated the ball. Ball, on the other hand, doesn't dominate the ball. I think, this aspect of his game, will make him really appealing to play with other stars who are ball dominant.
