im just not sure if this is serious or not. He probably wont be the next Lebron he was being compared to, but an average player? Give me a break.



I'm dead serious. The NBA is a huge step up in size, strength, quickness and overall talent. Outside of ball handling and athleticism for his size, his offensive repertoire is severely limited. If that doesn't improve, a lot, he'll have a rough time in half court sets.

And I won't even talk about his defense and intangibles.

That's super duper important.

He's a matchup nightmare for when he gets in the NBA. Running the floor is elite. Ball handling for size is elite. IQ for size is eite.

Its the certain things he brings to the table that is very rare that will be shown early in his NBA career. He'll probably never be a 3pt shooter, but he'll learn how to hit a midrange shot effectively. He has the unteachable intanglibles which is why he'll be the undisputed #1 pick.

The NBA game is much more open and caters to players that can handle the ball and drive the hoop. Ben will be excellent.

You think he'll get better coaching too? Remember, the Ben Simmons we all saw was under the tutelage of Johnny Jones.
