Ben Simmons: Bust or No Bust

it's ESPN and media's fault for hyping ben, it's killing him right now. He's still extremely talented and can do a lot besides shooting (which isn't even that bad)

 

[DeVanteSwing]

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.

Russell did horrible against Arizona and still shot up to #2

That's one game. He dominated the entire season. Have comprehensive skills brehs

didn't dominate that game lol

 

[King Biko]

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

His handles is nowhere near odoms

 

[Larry Lambo]

He'll be solid, but I don't envision him as a superstar at the next level.

Maybe a 15-5-5 guy.

His handles is nowhere near odoms

The Odom comparison is more accurate then any LBJ Magic IMO.He has a chance to be a really good player if put in the right situation.He put up great #'s despite playing for the worse coach in D1

I dont see it. Odoms game was way more finesse than simmons. Hes more lebron than odom 2 me, hes just not on lebron level

His shot will get better when he works on it in the summer etc. not everybody is Kevin Durant
The way the NBA is now got y'all confused
Everybody doesn't have to shoot 3's to be effective

nikka shouldnt have been in college

can these players go straight to the d league? nba should do what MLB does.

 

[Savior]

Lebron wouldve averaged 30-10-10 in college if he had to carry a bad team. These Lebron comparisons for every good prospect gotta stop . Only thing getting close to that is Steph Curry's last year at Davidson getting quadruple teamed and shyt

 

[MJ Truth]

I'm not willing to call anybody a bust when they haven't even played a second of paid basketball yet.

 

[Software]

So basically all you have to do to go high in a draft is be good in High School?

That and not be ass in college like two twins who shall not be named

 

[tjax03]

yes there is.




Have no idea why he chose not to play like this at lsu.

Simmons is just nasty

Look at the mans handles, passing,court awareness in this video and tell me this dude don't have talent. He still raw but the instincts is there.

Don't judge this man by lsu sucky ass program. Look at him in his element where he belong
