re: In hindsight, was signing Ben Simmons the downfall of CJJ?

CJJ had his problems but you obviously have no idea of what the Ben Simmons situation was at LSU.

First, Jones had nothing to do with Simmons coming to LSU. Simmons came to LSU as a favor to his godfather David Patrick. You could have been the HC of the program and Simmons was still coming for that 1 year.

Second, Simmons was not at LSU to play basketball and win anything. He was there because he had to complete 1 season at he collage level to be draft eligible.

Third Simmons not being used in the right way was largely Ben Simmons fault, He wanted to showcase himself for scouts, and his documentary he was having filmed of himself through out the season, thus Simmons' historic individual statistics and the team looking like the first time they all played together almost every night.
