Ben Simmons Is Ineligible For John Wooden Award

Can't make a 2.0 with free tutoring? That's sad....

This one and done shite is a joke.

"can't blame this on the kid." Wut?

Embarrassing Ben.

I don't think he would've won it anyways. Buddy Hield has it locked up right now.

Scores a zero on desire and effort. What a surprise.

I'm fine with one and done as it's the current rule, it will change. What a sad reflection on Ben, on LSU, and for other kids busting it to get their degree via scholarship. Jones too has to take accountability.

How hard is it, as an athlete, to maintain grades and remain eligible? This is pathetic.

Kentucky has won nattys with one and done kids. Bottom line is this coaching staff has failed. I don't like the rule either, but let's not pretend the rule is the reason this year has been such a failure, and Simmons isn't national player of the year.

If you want to win in this life, you have to take care of your business...all of it...

$100m shoe deal. Don't care.

I hate Ben Simmons as a player. He is just lazy and over hyped and this article proved that. However, I don't know what I would do if I was put in his position. This is an 18 year old kid who has already been guaranteed a $100 million contract by one of the biggest shoe brands in the world. It has to be tough for him.

Lazy is a charcter trait and will manifest itself in everything he does. Simmons is one of the most overrated players zi have ever seen. His laziness off the court is visible to many of us now just as we have been saying all along. This simply is not a surprise because if Simmons is lazy on the court where supposedly it does matter why wouldn't he be lazy in other aspects of his life such as academicly.

Prove you wrong? Jones sucks as a coach. Simmons is lazy as crap, must have stopped going to class after Christmas. It really does not matter to him, he doesn't need college to play in the NBA and sign shoe deals. He will need it one day though. Life is tough enough. it's much tougher when you are stupid. Wasting a free opportunity to learn is stupid, period.

Ben Simmons is still eligible for SEC Tournament MVP, bitches.

what good is 100$ million shoe deal if your too stupid to know when someone will con you out of all of it.

nice job Ben - would never pick u as a GM knowing that work effort

Who gives a poop.
