re: ESPN on Simmons - It's hard to appreciate a great player on a bubble team

Idk I've watched a few LSU games this season because they are all on espn because of Simmons and honestly I just don't see what makes him so great. Not trying to bash kid but I dont see the hype in the games I've watched.
What makes him so great is that he is very good at a bunch of things but not extremely great at one thing. This is why people think he is not as good as he is. He is a stat sheet filler. They want him to score 30-40 or get 20-30 rebounds or 10-15 assist but that's just not who he is but he will give you a few of all those things. He is an all around player whose skill set is way better suited for the NBA over college.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Can you imagine him in the NBA with his back to the basket waiting for the clear double team. He will eat NBA defenses for lunch.

Completely agree. But Lsu and in college you need the scorer more than the stat sheet filler. We have a better record with hield rather than Simmons. Simmons will be the bigger star and thrive in the NBA. It's two different games and two different relative talent levels. Simmons creating extra possessions with offensive rebounds and his passing ability sure helps. However I'd take Hield and his .500 3point percentage over Simmons for college. Be selfish be the man be the alpha dog.
