Stole the thread from RealGM

Who was more coveted coming out?

Who is the better prospect?

Simmons for both. His ceiling is incredibly high.

It's close but I'd say Fultz by a hair. Easier to build around and PG defense not as important as PF.

I hadn't even heard of Fultz before this college season. Simmons was coming for a couple of years before the NBA.

I would think it has to be Simmons because the one thing he has to work on (outside shooting) is probably the easiest thing to fix.

Simmons is more of a potential match up nightmare than a 6'4 guard. That doesn't mean that Fultz isn't an incredible player and elite prospect though.

Ben Simmons is the better prospect and more coveted. Lol people that think he wouldn't go 1st in this draft

I think it's very close but would probably go Simmons. His skill set is extremely rare. Both will be very good though I think

Simmons is a 6'11 guy who can get a triple double on the reg in the NBA if 76ers get some shooters. He had ZERO jumpshot in college, and all accounts are that he has practiced shooting nonstop since joining the NBA. Those who think he won't be able to knock down 20 footers consistently are fooling themselves.

6'11 guys who are perhaps the fastest on the court, with the best handles, and the best vision are RARE. Yes, Fultz is good, but there are LOTS of good guard scorers. There are very few Point Forwards with the skillset that Simmons possesses.

Last but not least, he had Johnny Jones as a coach. We all know now how pathetic CJJ was/is. It makes Ben that much more impressive. If he played with a competent coach, a decent team, he would have thrived. As it was, he just basically broke a ton of SEC records
