Scores 22 points in Chicago debut
Simons posted 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-13 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Analisi
Simons was cleared to make his Bulls debut Thursday, two days after he was traded by Boston to Chicago. Simons was strictly a bench player during his short Celtics tenure, but he was moved into the starting lineup for his first game in a Bulls uniform, and the veteran wing took advantage of the opportunity by connecting on a game-high six triples. Simons' efficiency from the field was a good sign, but what his role will look like once Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) return remains to be seen. Simons will also be competing against fellow newcomers Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton (recently traded) for backcourt minutes.

Will start in debut
Simons is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analisi
This certainly doesn't cement Simons in as a starter moving forward, as the Bulls are without several key backcourt contributors Thursday, including Josh Giddey (hamstring), Collin Sexton (recently traded) and Tre Jones (hamstring). However, this should be a great opportunity for Simons to show what he can do in his first action with the Bulls.

Set for Bulls debut Thursday
Simons (recently traded) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors, per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca.
Analisi
After landing in Chicago in exchange for Nikola Vucevic, Simons is all set for his Bulls debut Thursday. The team is still shuffling some players around in the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline, so Simons could be thrust into a fairly significant role right away. The veteran combo guard ended his Celtics tenure by averaging 16.9 points, 3.1 three-pointers, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest in his final 10 games for the club.

Moving to Chicago
The Bulls agreed to trade Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Celtics in exchange for Simons and a second-round pick Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analisi
After acquiring Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley earlier Tuesday, Chicago continues to bolster its now crowded backcourt group. The Bulls' additions do make it difficult to project how much playing time each member of the backcourt will receive, as Simons now seems to have even more of an uphill climb for minutes. Simons averaged 16.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest in his last 10 games with Boston.

Pops for six treys in rout
Simons finished with 27 points (10-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 107-79 victory over the Bucks.
Analisi
The 26-year-old guard drained multiple three-pointers for the fifth straight game and scored in double digits for a sixth straight as he continues to anchor Boston's second unit. Over those six contests, Simons is averaging 16.3 points, 3.0 threes, 2.3 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.8 minutes.
