Andrew Wiggins came in, set the Kansas record for scoring as a freshman, shot nearly hundreds of times more than anyone else on the team, had multiple games that he won by himself, and got accused of being a passive player who couldn't lead a team all year long.

Long story short, people are RETARDED and will parrot anything that the media or Internet has decided to run with. Simmons is amazing and the hate is hilarious. Just ignore it.

That's not a bad comparison either, he just can't handle the ball as well

f neither do so, we will be looking back at this year's draft as a rather disappointing one.


It is probably going to be a disappointing one regardless. It will be sandwiched between two incredible drafts, if next year's shapes up like what people are expecting.

You can count on one hand the guys in the NBA over 6'6" that can handle the ball like Simmons.

Ingram will be better at first, IMO.

Lebron is the only player in the nba 6'6" or taller that can get goal to goal faster than Simmons

I LOVE Jamal Murray as a pro prospect. Feel like he would be a perfect fit for the Pels.

Are we talking about handling the ball , or quicker getting to the rim?

They go hand in hand. There aren't but maybe 2-3 primary ball handlers that are even that big.

Westbrook dominates the ball for OKC.

Griffin is a great handler but not on Simmons' level

This has nothing to do with your statement about Lebron being the only current player that can dribble... I mean drive to the rim better than Simmons.

I think Ingram will average 20ppg before Simmons.

He shoots 3's at a 40% clip. Baffling why he's only 69% at the FT line. He seems more capable driving to the basket than Ben. 7'3" wingspan, 3" more than Ben.

If Ben can start making 15ft jump shots with any consistency, watch out.

His free throw shooting had an impact in the Alabama game alright.
