Simmons is getting no coaching to use his skills to bring him to the next level. He would be absolutely going off under Cal, Coach K, etc.

No, I really don't think so. As Simmons himself has said, he doesn't listen to the coaches, he does what is best for him. That's the way he has been brought up.

I think that's a big part of the reason he came to LSU and not Duke/Kentucky etc; there, he'd be surrounded by equal talent, and would be forced to take direction, or be benched. Here, he's stepped into a big talent gap, and there really isn't more than one other viable big man on the team. Jones HAS to play him.

the thing about one and dones in college is that some won't have the drive to play for college accolades if their mind is on the NBA the whole time... but some do

but you need those talents. we talk about Ben Simmons, but don't we like him better being on our team rather than facing him on Kentucky?
