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.
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.

If you replace Simmons with Buddy, LSU would be absolutely awful this year.
And that isn't a knock on Buddy either
