no that was in response to him starting...I have never thought he shouldn't/won't/ doesn't deserve to be #1 pick

of course he will

I don't think people understand how rare his skillset is for his size and length


I do I just expected him to have more of a perimeter game. He is Durant without a jumpshot

It was literally in response to him being the #1 pick, which is what you quoted

Seems awfully similar to:

He'd start on almost every team right now at 19 years old

no way


If he was allowed to come out of high school, he'd be starting on most teams at 19 years old. Especially teams with good shooters

to be fair, Durant had zero inside game in college

all he had was a jumpshot

I mean they are both tall and can handle the ball

Simmons is bigger, stronger, and way more explosive than KD coming out.

KD has an amazing shot. They won't be similar in that regard, but I think Simmons will develop some mid range and a corner 3
