It's so easy for people to shite on the kid once the season is over. We didn't have our best shooter for half the year, we ran NO OFFENSE thanks to a special ed coach, and our PG hated Ben because he's too hoodrat to see the benefits of playing with him.
Ben is going to be exceptional in the NBA and I love everyone coming to bash on him.
People magically forget Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard had zero outside game when they were going to the NBA.

I've mentioned it in the other threads on the issue. He's going to get to the pre-draft workouts and the scouts/coaches are once again going to fall in love with his ability and high-level understanding of the game. He will separate himself once more by the time we get to June. He came into this season with a ton of expectations and he's paying the price for underachieving team led by a coach that has no business being at a major conference program.
Just like last year when Mickey and Martin went in the top 33 of the Draft, prepare for this question: "how did LSU not have better results with this guy?" Unfortunately, it will be the same answer to the same question two years in a row.

but he had a tough physical inside game to make up for it. He was a player that you knew could go right into the NBA and be a dominant player. Can't say the same thing about Simmons. Simmons is going to have to develop toughness and an outside shot in order to become even marginally effective in the NBA. Simmons in time might develop into an NBA player but it is all speculative while with Davis there was no question that he would not only make it in the NBA but be a very good or even great NBA player.

I'm hoping it happens.
