Just watched Simmons scout video from lsu :joy:
I highly suggest yall stop drinking the kool aide on him being a "bust" . That dude is the gotdamn truth.
If he went to duke or uk and not a bad program like LSU there would be no concerns. The attitude? Blake grifin still has that boarish, aloof type 'attitude' . Who cares. The J? Serge Ibaka is now a 3pt shooter. You dont draft a 19 year old big and worry about his J. It'll come.
Ben Simmons is EXACTLY who they said he was. -

I been said heads was bugging with downplaying Ben.
That's why you can't let media dictate your actions, just go off your own eyes. If Ben was not compared to LeBron he would be no different than any of the other projected 1's, nobody would question it. Blake, Kyrie etc. and he's better than those two as prospects to me just proving a point.
I remember MrCj posted his vid in the NBA thread his junior year and the title of the video was next LBJ I immediately said he wasn't that but dude is nice nonetheless. LeBron is that unique, there aren't just next ones popping up.
? did the same thing to Wiggins and Ben better than him too.

Right. Man Julius Randal just averaged 12 and 10...So what u think Ben gon do? Lol He's sick
And its crazy that people are making him Lebron mentally too. 'He cant take his team to the tournament " like wtf is that. -

Word going around that we will either draft Dunn, Heild, or Valentine . I want Kris Dunn, but I think Minny will scoop him u so I'll be cool with Buddy Heild.

People gotta realize it depends where players are drafted. Ben Simmons in LA will be be better then Ben Simmons in Philly.
