re: Honest perspective on Simmons

Could you imagine if he had the ferociousness of Russell Westbrook?
-------------------------------------------------
Russell Westbrook's UCLA stats:
Position: Guard
Height: 6-3 ? Weight: 187
School: UCLA
Career: 75 Games played, 8.3 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 2.5 APG
I questioned when Russell went out after his sophomore year. The NBA made him tough. That will happen with Simmons - who will play small-"point"-forward in the league. Whatever team he plays on will have or obtain two guys taller, bigger and stronger who will pounding the boards in order to leave Simmons away from the glass to create shots for his team.

LSU fans love to eat their own?
Ben Simmons is way down the list of any problems on this team.
Biggest problem last night is him not finishing at the rim a few times and then clanking FT's.
He seems passive, but I think he's just a facilitator by nature. Some of that is because he can't shoot very good.
By far (besides coaching) the thing that holds this team back is BAD PG play. TQ outside of a couple games has been TERRIBLE. He continues to think he is a shooter and he's not. He's also been pretty poor defensively. While Gray is almost as bad, I'd play him before TQ right now.
Personally, I'd keep them both on the bench and let BS be the PG. Can't hurt with the way those 2 are playing of late.
Sadly, for this team to be successful I really believe TQ has to play well. Not great, but good enough.

That would be 3 people on the floor that cant score. He better land on a team that has two phenomenal shooters/scorers because he is completely incapable of doing either.
