It's on espnU right now. 2nd has started.

Simmons is a boss. He and Tone getting significant coverage. Both on the scoreboard but Simmons is so much more polished than anyone else on the court.

With all of the Malik Newman drama, we tend to overlook Ben. We are very fortunate to have him.

I watched the whole game. AB and Malik were going ag it first half and AB had the upper hand. Second half I think Malik got pissed because of how bad their team is and he played a lot better. Newman with the other 2 would just be ridiculous

Well just tune into the Jordan Brand Classic on April 19th and you can get an early look at them together

Did he fake a pass with that last dribble? I can't tell if that defender got faked or just didn't care

Definitely can dribble like a boss. Was a pretty sick fake pass to get to the lane, though I don't think anyone would feel comfortable getting in front of that train.

Not sure, it's just beautiful to watch him eat up all that space that fast as a point forward.

Here is another Ben-in-transition vine from the game: LINK

He faked a bounce pass with his last dribble. Completely froze Brandon Ingram.

He's a wing ... I been trying to tell people. He's on a different level than all these guys. And they are on a different level than 99% of the world. LOL.

I am glad the LSU community is slowly finding out JUST how great he is. It's not just a big athletic guy (we've had Anthony Randolph before) but his skill level far exceeds anyone that I recall heading into college at that size. (I am 26 so, older people I can't recall, lol)

The only LSU talent, off the top my head, with comparable size, smoothness, polish, and passing ability is John Williams.

But of course, JW was a much heavier Post player, which was why they called him "Hot Plate".

Simmons is special. He has true Super Star potential and I am going to enjoy the hell out of every game we have him for. They need to tell an undecided big over there to just tag along so he can get wide open dunks all game. With the attention AB and Simmons will get, post players will feast. I just hope we don't have to play Simmons at the 4 all season.

6'10, supremely athletic, unselfish, strong, fast, ridiculous passer, top flight ball handler, good outside shooter, the whole see things before they're happening, excellent rebounder, and just a great kid. He's like the player you make in NBA 2k with all 99 stats.
