Not even close. Will have less than average pro career.


I see no reason for him to return to LSU, even if he played himself out of the #1 overall pick (which I don't think he did.) The problem I have is the guy has no defense, and seeing guys like Mickey and Martin struggling to get minutes in the NBA, I just don't see how he sees the floor at all as a rookie.(bases on lack of defense) And if that's even half true, is he really worthy of the #1 pick? (no doubt the 76er's will pick him and ruin any chance he has at development, of that I'm sure).

No doubt he has next level court vision and understands the game, but after seeing him poorly handle this adversity at LSU he's got a lot of growing up to do.

Did you just compare Ben Simmons to Mickey and Martin?
