it is asking much, cuz if you ever watched a full game of lsu bball in the past, you would see ben AIRBALL shots that were not farther than the free throw line...multiple times a game...

trust me, dude will start letting that shot go when its really ready, a guy like ben whose focus is getting teammates involved and being efficient is not gonna shoot 5 shots a game from beyond the 3 just to make 1 and impress guys like stephen a who don't even watch full game of lsu bball

1 or 2 attempts would suffice, maybe he will be able to gain confidence.....as far us the "dude will start letting that shot go", that is a coaching issue

Same clowns who were acting like Wiggins would be a massive bust. They never even mention him now.

SAS is the same fakkit that said Julius Randle is a 7 footer with a handle.

These dudes know nothing

KG and Kobe never had to carrying a team at 19 :stopitslime: so how would you know?

Durant is still being questioned for his assertiveness bc how he lets Westbrook steal the moment and Lebron was being questioned all the way up to his 2nd season in Miami.

and you obviously don't watch him play because no one in this draft is a better passer, has a higher IQ, or drives to the basketball better than him.

None of these players were being as micro-evaluated as Simmons. I can't even think of a player who has come close to people pinpointing every detail of their game as Simmons has. The closest player was probably Wiggins.
:mjlol::russ:




Those players were clear stars in the league when the first started, even Kobe when he was riding the bench

:wtf: KG was putting up 10 and , Kobe was putting up 15 and 6, people thought Durant was overrated after his 1st year despite winning ROY, people were not wondering why Lebron defers at 19.

All these players got better from the time they were 19 yet Simmon has to be a finished product NOW.

Celtics would be an insanely good situation for him. I don't want to see it happen as a Bulls fan, but outside of that, he would be dynamic on that team

They are asking too much of this kid.

It's funny Simmons and Wiggins are very different prospects but they have the same problem. Passiveness

He may have been overrated early in the season but I think most people re-calibrated their expectations after seeing him over the course of the season.
He can fill up a stat sheet and that should be good enough to justify a top 2 pick this year. You had people acting like Jabari was going be better than Carmelo by now so you just gotta ignore the dumb nikkas when it comes to these evaluations.
