re: Ben Simmons impact

And Jonny Jones had the worst season in modern LSU history the next season with 2 NBA players in the starting lineup. A team all you same ppl said would be better without Simmons ended up losing 9 more overall games and 9 more SEC games. They were out of games midway through most first halves yet nobody ever blames Antonio Blakeney or Brandon Sampson, you rightfully blame Jones. Simmons isn’t afforded the same standard yet Simmons did his part and Jones didn’t.

Y’all are missing the point. Coaches get these guys to play. Brown had 3 lottery picks with Shaw, Roberts, and Jackson (Rauf) and couldn’t deliver more than a mediocre tourney team. This was the sign that Brown’s incredible run was over. Luckily the one and done (fun to watch as a highlight show but no ability/interest to team contribution) Simmons was the setup for Jones overdue collapse the next year and voila’ Will Wade was here. The post Simmons team lost all respect for Jones gushing over his one man stat builder while ignoring all the work of his other pro bound players put in every week and Jones had no remedy. Moral- if you’re gonna throw everything you got in a one and done you better damn sure know he’s takin him with you when he moves on. Coach Jones- thank you, thank you, thank you! General Wade- you are now free to move around the plane! I’ve been to everyone of these up and downs games
With their up and down excuses and so far don’t hear a bunch of whiny excuses out of Will Wade. Just responsibility on losses and mountains of praise for all players in wins. So far this has been the greatest start for a coach in LSU’s history. Keep it rolling CWW and boot up!
