This kid is being hyped up by the media and for what?? He has great stats but can't hit the medium range jumper consistently and just drive in and throws the ball up hoping for a foul. If I'm a GM in NBA - no way this kid is my first round pick when there is so many other "total" players. At best, he's a Magic Johnson type guard who's there to just hand out assist. I agree with every opponents fan base - OVERATED

I know they compare him to Magic and he has great ball handling abilities but his ball handling and passing is no where near Magic



If he goes to philly they will still suck. He has not shown he has "it" and by it I mean the ability to win surrounded by ok talent.

There is not a more total player than Simmons in the draft you fool.

"Total" players? You mean like a guy who is 6'10" that averages 20 and 10 while also getting 5 asst a game? There hasnt been a more "total" player to come out in a long time

So his upside is Magic Johnson (a top ten all-time player) and you wouldn't draft him in the first round? Stick to golf buddy.
