Some tweets from the camp yesterday! Simmons dominating and holding his own vs the best in the world. I can't wait to watch this kid at LSU for a year. Gonna be something special.
@nbadraftnet: Was great seeing @BenSimmons25 match up w one of the game's elite players @JHarden13 & hold his own. #NikeBasketballAcademy
@CJMooreBR: Ben Simmons showing he can guard right now against Anthony Davis. Fun matchup. Two freaks.
@Russ_Steinberg: Non-JCDH note: Ben Simmons was dominant. Looked better than anyone, even Harden.
@Mike_Schmitz: Ben Simmons is far and away the best passer out here. Distributed from anywhere on the floor with either hand.
@Jigga2cal: Ben Simmons just makes the right play over & over & over. Unbelievable IQ and passing like a PG #NikeBasketballAcademy

So this means we have him for one year?

He's basically already the first pick in next year's draft regardless of this seasons results

Harden ain't got nothing to prove. Why should he go all out and play as hard as he can? I guarantee you Simmons is playing as hard as he can. Nothing to read here.

Harden had to at least prove he was better than an incoming college freshman.... Fail.
Basically all this says what we knew, that Simmons is special.

I can believe this:
@CJMooreBR: Ben Simmons showing he can guard right now against Anthony Davis.
As far as him being better than Harden, whoa slow down there tweeter.

Just a bad comment all around. Of course Harden wasn't playing like it was a game 7 but to even look like you belong on the same court with Harden even if he only gave 50% is still high praise. You act like Harden was the only other player there. It said he looked better than everybody there not just a professional player who was probrably going about half effort. If you think those tweets are nothing to read then you are trying way to hard to keep your expectations low.

SOS, I want some early season predictions from you, Sir.
Are we SEC Champs in '15-16?
Are we a top regional seed in the NCAAs?
Are we final four or bust?
Will this 1-and-done team win it all???
If yes or no, the most important question would be: can JJ sustain this program from this point forward??

We already know the hype. Enough already. If yall want to get excited, great. Lets just hope he don't get hurt and lives up to his expectations.

Its not hype when it's actually being done on a court.

We don't even have a full schedule yet. quote:

I don't think so. I'd say 15% shot. UK is gonna have just another great team.
quote:
Are we a top regional seed in the NCAAs?
No. I would expect a top 5 seed. I'd love to be a 3 seed ideally. Way to early to believe this team is a top 4 team in the country. Top 15 to top 25 is reasonable, but any more expectation than that is premature.
quote:
Are we final four or bust?
I'd absolutely love a final four, but so much will come down to matchups, draw, and a little luck. We need to win some post season basketball, but I will not call this season a failure without a final four. Sweet 16 would at least give the program some credibility.
quote:

Like the final four question, it's way to early to even think this to me. We have a special player in Simmons, but you still play with 5 on the court at a time. We will have some holes to fill in the starting lineup as well as a depth issue.
This team is 1 Ben Simmons injury away from being a middle of the pack SEC team.

I believe in Johnny Jones. I think he is learning how to deal with a totally different ability of player at LSU, but will come along. Players love Coach Jones because he doesn't force them into a box, he allows them to make plays. Any good player wants the ability to make plays for himself and his team mates.
We saw a stagnant offense when we had Johnny O'Bryant because they were stuck in a box and not allowed to just play. I think we got better when we were able to move the ball around and just look to take advantage of holes in a defense. I think we see more of that this year.

Craziest part imo. Being that big and passing like that is not common.
Posted on 6/30/15 at 8:25 am to JW6
His ability to pick out the right pass on the fly is incredible for a young player and frankly gives me a boner
