re: Who is the basketball recruit making headlines?

GeeOH-To say that Ben will not be nearly the pro Lebron is, well that's a matter of opinion. I saw Lebron in person when he was in high school, coached against him doing AAU. The game I coached against him, Lebron was 5/23 from the field. His jump shot left a LOT to be desired at that stage. He did dominate all the other phases of the game, rebounding, blocks, assist and THAT was the difference.

I see the SAME at this stage in Ben Simmons, if Ben develops a consistent mid range jumper he will be on the level of Lebron in do time. They are very very similar in their games at the high school stage of their careers. And the scary part of Ben Simmons is that he may not be finished growing.
