basketball has changed now to be everything about one on one, street ball. It's why it is refreshing to see a team like Notre Dame be able to do well these days. These teams can't compare to the teams from 15-20 years ago. These days, someone with extremely marginal next level talent decides to go pro whether ready or not....case and point Mickey.....and then you'll have a lot of kids on here arguing "he getting paid"........truth is he'll probably make a few bucks, for a few years...then what? Not hating...just being truthful....obtaining an education is a joke to most of these kids. Wish they had better advisors/role models.

These so-called "high school" teams are simply conglomerates of all-star players. They have a significant advantage in playing legitimate high school teams, but seem to get ranked as a "high school" nonetheless.
Many of these players dominate against the lesser talented players of other teams. But, when they run into somebody who is as good or better than they are, you see a bunch of crappy (and missed) shots and turnovers, not to mention fouls.
Simmons holds his own against the other "all stars" but no one should presume that he'll be a man among boys at the college level. He will have good games and he will have atrocious games (which our fans will use to claim that he's "overrated"). He'll just be a freshman who will be playing against a bunch of opponents who were all-stars at the high school level and many of them will be older than and have more experience than Ben.
