I'm Tired of reading all the hate. The guy averaged 20/12/5, won freshman of the year, and recorded 23 double doubles.

Yes it was an abortion of a season but it was in no way this kids fault.

I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.

He was a good player. Unfortunately he will always be looked at through the lens of his expectations coming in and the poor play of the team he was on.

I'll miss seeing his personal camera crew running around the pmac trying to get shots of him from every possible angle.

Him signing with an agent with the quickness is the most aggressive I've seen him all year

Not even in top 5 of all time LSU players. I don't care if he is the #1 pick.

Sounds like YOUR problem. Get off the board for a while.

Boo-fricking-hoo.

Simmons has a lot of talent. No denying that.

This shite season is 95% Jones's fault, from his inability to coach even half arse to his players giving up, including Simmons... he disappeared in important moments and his heart is questionable. For now.

I'm sure he'll do fine in the NBA, but playing for a shite coach didn't help.

I'm in. He chose to come here. I thank him for that. Haters gonna hate. Good luck to the young man. One of the best ASSIST/PASSERS of all time on any level. They will see when he shines in the NBA. Might take a year or two but the haters will see. Make that bank big BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys should be on your knees thanking Ben Simmons for even coming to LSU. You had high expectations for this years team and rightfully so.

However, to send all the blame Ben Simmons way is just flat out ignorant. Last time I checked basketball was a team sport.

Its incredible how much people blame him for this year.

If we had any coaching or semblance of an offense, he'd lauded as a hero.

He had an elite year statistically and without him, we might not have a winning record. Its such a myth that he didn't try hard.

Its not his fault Tim Quarterman is the anti-christ and Johnny Jones has the basketball IQ of a sea turtle.
