Simmons was passing time until he could get to the NBA. He didn't make his teammates better. He never demonstrated any love for the university. He never appeared to play with real passion.
Sure, blame him for a dumbass NBA rule. They should either allow players to go pro straight out of high school or require them to stay 2 or 3 years. I'd think allowing both would be best. You can go pro straight out, but if you go to college, you have to stay for 2 years.

The current system is dumb as hell. Players who have NBA potential are only enrolled in school for a few months and don't really care about their classes. But, blaming them is placing it at the wrong people.

Also, as mentioned above, he shows love to LSU. If you really want to place the blame on someone from that team, your anger should be directed at Tim Quarterman. He was, by all accounts, a real difficult person to work with and tried to show up his teammates and coaches.

Regardless of the paths they took, they still came through LSU.
Simmons came through for LSU? His season was a huge underachievement. Did I miss something?
