Ben Simmons: Bust or No Bust

[Frump]

Depends on what you are expecting

If you expect him to be franchise player you build around you'll be disappointed

He's kind of a mix between Lamar Odom and Diaw

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Shooting is the one thing you can work on to improve it,he has everything else,I'm not worried about him,young boy gon be the truth

 

[Liquid]

He will be a good player, but people really need to chill out thinking he can be the next "LeBron" type player...that just doesn't happen that often.

LeBron came in and dropped 25 in his very first game...that shyt is almost unheard of for any rookie.

 

[Brozay]

Reminds me of Giannis a bit, thats all I can say. Only seen a handful of games

 

[LezJepzin]

Bust . All the comparisons already going to his head

 

[Paradise50]

not a bust but definitely not the next Lebron. LSU performance this season was pathetic and that p*ssy scared to shoot

D'Angelo russell compared him to giannis 2 and hes played with him

Why do people think 6'10 guys need to be great shooters?

Especially at 19

How often do we see great 19 y/o shooters?

 

[Easy-E]

Not a bust but notthe next LeBron

Does the media do that?

 

[CarltonJunior]

Exactly AD wasn't a threat from the mid range like he is now after he put in that work. He will develop

 

[CarltonJunior]

to be fair to Simmons



a lot of people don't even remember this

Kansas was riddled with injury and Bill Self is known to restrict his players. Wiggins was also a very underwhelming college player outside of one game. That being said yeah college won't affect your stock if you go into it as a top recruit, at that point it's more about your frame and pure talent. However if you aren't known as a top guy and end up dominating college like D'Angelo Russell your stock will shoot up.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Cats like you probably thought Lillard was goin be a rotation player

EVERYONE thought Lillard was going to be a rotation player breh

 

[HNIC973]

How did he end up at LSU?

godfather is a coach there I believe

 

[HNIC973]

At this point he's Lamar Odom which isn't a bad thing at this stage imo
