I think that's a big part of the reason he came to LSU and not Duke/Kentucky etc; there, he'd be surrounded by equal talent, and would be forced to take direction, or be benched. Here, he's stepped into a big talent gap, and there really isn't more than one other viable big man on the team. Jones HAS to play him.
the thing about one and dones in college is that some won't have the drive to play for college accolades if their mind is on the NBA the whole time... but some do
but you need those talents. we talk about Ben Simmons, but don't we like him better being on our team rather than facing him on Kentucky?

It's great that we have a legit starter that we can plug in down low, but honestly, I'd take another Victor or Martin type of guy instead. Someone you know can make an impact, and that you also know will stay a couple seasons. It's all fine and dandy that Simmons will win SEC freshman of the year, but next year he will be gone, and that big ol' beast at A&M (Davis) will continue to help the Aggies, for example.
