re: Ben Simmons put on a passing exhibition last night

His passing at LSU was better than any other college player. Best I've seen. But his teammates couldn't convert alot of times.

He just sees the floor way better than most.

The frustrating part of watching was that, as you said, the team mates weren't good enough to take advantage of his passing. For us he needed to be the star, take over games, and be more aggressive to elevate the team. He didn't do that. He struggled using his superior athleticism to score and has poor shooting. He was just an 18 or 19 year old though. If these were the days where players like him stayed more than 1 year, we might have actually done something.

He'll develop his game and develop his shooting. I hope he becomes one of the best players in the NBA. It just sucks that our one year with that kind of talent on the basketball team, and we couldn't even make a tournament appearance. I blame Jones for that though, not Simmons.
