Simon Wheeler brings veteran point-guard feel, but health and shot efficiency are the real swing factors
In the 2025-26 season, Jacksonville senior guard Simon Wheeler is a steady table-setter at 5-10 and 165 pounds, with a reputation for creating offense and keeping the ball moving rather than forcing the issue[1][3][10]. His current value is tied to playmaking and pace, but the biggest questions are durability and scoring efficiency: Jacksonville’s roster page says he suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024-25 after appearing in just four games, and his listed 2024-25 numbers were modest at 3.0 points and 5.5 assists per game[8][13]. If your team wants a compact guard with a creator’s mindset and some grit, he’s intriguing; if you need a high-volume scorer, he’s probably more conductor than soloist[1][8].
