The Rantards are going to pile on Simmons on here I'm sure, but this is terrible for LSU Basketball, no matter how you slice it.

Jones and LSU do look bad here, but Simmons has to take some of the blame.

He was the one that was going through the motions on D, playing at his own pace, and the one with hardly any offensive game.

For his size he is an elite athlete who can run, pass and dribble; however like a big baseball player who can't hit; he won't every be a big star at the next level unless he can score. Sure he can get better, work on his game, etc. but it's a risk. Who knows if he will ever come around?

Yep. And I agree with Bilas. I would never come here or any other non power school if I was the number 1 guy. If Simmons went to UK or Duke he would have put up 20/12/5 and made a tournament run and his value would not have gone down at all. WAAAAAAAY to risky to come here. This shows it.
