simmons is an overrated basketball player. It's as simple as that. He's good but not great as everyone thinks.

Serious question: if Ben Simmons, instead of being the no. 1 recruit, was no. 100, what would we think of him, based solely on what we've seen on the court?

Would we say he's the consensus no. 1 pick in the NBA draft? Would we even say he's a 1-and-done?

No doubt he has areas where his skills are phenomenal, but others that aren't good. I realize the NBA drafts on potential, but if he didn't come in with all the hype, what would we think of him, seeing what we've seen?

I know we love our guys that wear the purple and gold, but try to look past that and give an honest reply.
