The Celtics lead the NBA's eastern conference and have been victorious in their two games against the 76ers this season, although Baynes has been impressed with future Boomers teammate and NBA Rookie of the Year frontrunner Simmons.

"He's such a big point guard and causes some match-up problems, but that's where we are lucky because we are so versatile we can throw different looks at him defensively," Baynes, speaking on an NBA conference call with reporters to promote the London game, said.
