re: The LSU basketball program needs one of these...

LSU is being used as a cautionary tale about what happens when a five star recruit chooses to play for a non-traditional power.

This is such a myth and needs to stop being reported on this site and especially by the national media because it is lazy journalism. Ben Simmons came in as the number 1 or 2 pick and put up great stats and him and his team didn't win and make the tourney but yet he is still the number 1 or 2 pick. These one and dones want to go pro and Ben Simmons actually proved going be the only guy on a bad team will not hurt your draft stock at all.

Meanwhile Skai Labissaire goes to Kentucky as the number 1 or 2 pick and struggles early and Kentucky can afford to use other people and his draft stock drops. If he comes to LSU and is the only guy his stats would be tremendous because LSU doesn't have an option other than him and his draft stock stays the same.
