From his Twitter:

I'm guessing gifted but low-motor, no-jumpshot Ben Simmons goes to the Sixers. Hope he doesn't just try to blend in as did at LSU.


No doubt Simmons' camp is beyond unhappy the Lakers didn't get the #1 pick. You think there's a chance the 76ers take Ingram when they learn that Simmons will not be cooperative if drafted by Philly?

Skip would fit in well here. Chicken should have fired Larry Leo and hired Skip for $30 million before Fox did.

This isn't new. He's the sports world's #1 attention whore. He thanks you for you time.

He should be thankful to be drafted by Philly. Spoiled 90s baby

That never happens in professional sports.

Sounds like he summed Simmons up pretty well.

You are brain dead if you haven't realized that Skip will say virtually anything against the grain to troll and get clicks and/or viewers. He is an imbecile of the highest order.

Edit: That said, I don't entirely disagree with him on Simmons.

I disliked Richard Sherman for disrespecting Skip on Live tv a few years back, now in hindsight I am glad Richard put him in his place. Skip is a troll...
Screw him & the cowgirls.

He is just trying to get attention at his new network.

Very accurate description of him based on his performance at LSU.

I don't like Skip but, Simmons certainly doesn't have a jump shot. The low motor part is debatable. Objectively speaking, I'd consider Ingram with the first pick over Simmons.

Philly already has big guys (Okafor, Embiid, Noel) no room for Ben........ Buddy will be their pick.
