One of the many reasons he'll be the #1 pick

he better learn to post up in the nba

I never said he shouldn't or wont be the number one pick...I said I don't think he is a starter for MOST nba teams in his first year.

You just said he better learn to post up in response to me saying that he'd be the #1 pick

He's 6'10 with a 7 foot wing span that has the versatility to play the 3 or 4 or even a small 5 for some run and gun teams. An article came out this week stating, based on interviews with NBA scouts, that he'd be an instant upgrade to most teams starting lineups and a cornerstone.

I do I just expected him to have more of a perimeter game. He is Durant without a jumpshot

I mean they are both tall and can handle the ball

Simmons is bigger, stronger, and way more explosive than KD coming out.

KD has an amazing shot. They won't be similar in that regard, but I think Simmons will develop some mid range and a corner 3
