Veteran Kent State guard brings shooting touch and steady playmaking
K.K. Simmons’ Kent State profile shows a guard who has been a useful secondary creator and spacer: in the 2013-14 season, he averaged 4.4 points in 12.8 minutes, hit 41.2% from three, and chipped in 26 assists with 13 steals, which points to a dependable role player rather than a high-usage scorer.[1][2] He also showed clutch flashes, including a late three-pointer run that forced overtime at Central Michigan, and his background suggests toughness and feel—he transferred after a year at UNC Wilmington and still carved out meaningful minutes. He looks like the kind of backcourt piece coaches trust to organize, compete, and make open shots.[1][2]
