We can see where this Simmons situation is headed. We’ve all seen Behind the Music on VH1.
Simmons is like Tim Tebow and Robert Griffin III put together.
Like Tebow, Simmons has a glaring hole in his game, and his strengths require shaping an entire roster around. Your point guard and center better be able to shoot, because Simmons sure can’t.
So who is going to shape their team around an unconventional player who looks like a taller Rajon Rondo?
Jaylen Brown is a swing forward like Simmons, but he’s not a proven loser like Simmons. And he can help you without needing the ball in his hands all the time.
Better defense, better shooting, more athletic, can play SG, SF, or PF (8’9" reach, 225-230lbs).
Dragan Bender might jump into that #2 spot as well. For one thing, he’s not living The Rajon Rondo Story.
Anybody else have a chance? Maybe Dunn.

Simmons needs a Snickers, he’s in full blown diva mode.

I’d say Ivan Rabb has a 3% chance of leaping into the top 2.
Positional value? Check.
Size, atheticism, iq, skills? Check.
He just needs to gain 10 lbs before the draft, and show off a near-complete offensive skill set. He can do it.

    Tall athlete with amazing vision and ball handling, who can’t shoot or play d. Sounds like Magic to me. Think you guys got the wrong idea, I’m not saying hes going to have the same career, but they are similar players, moreso then the Ben Simmons compared to Lebron crap, Lebron could play d from day 1. Either way to not take him #1 is insane. I could give a fuck less what espn says I just watch the games yo.

uhh… Well, Simmons is easily still the best prospect in this class… I mean, he’s a bit of a baby. He still has a lot of time to mature. He’s a really great player and he’s just not really showing it in LSU because he doesn’t care. No one is gonna pick anyone besides him with the #1 pick. He already knows he’s going pro. But nice try T Rex.
