I wonder if people saying Draymond can't play with a non-shooter/scorer actually watched any Warriors game at all.
As has been mentioned before, this is in the context of Draymond having the ball in his hands as one of the main creators and playmakers.
What's the thinking here, that Simmons plays center? He's most effective as a perimeter defender which means his defensive impact would be severely compromised if he had to spend all his time in the paint wrestling with 7fters.
It's obvious that Wiggins is a better fit because as a talented 3 level scorer he isn't forced to play center and he's an excellent perimeter defender in his own right. Wiggins is an ideal addition to Kerr's scheme as a 2 way player that doesn't need the ball in his hands to make an impact.
Simmons without the ball? How's he making an impact? He becomes little more than a relay station to another player that's capable of knocking down an open shot. The defense can practically ignore him. They can't ignore Wiggins.
