That even someone said is an heir to LeBron (which is obviously not true).

But who is he?

Because if he was the heir to LeBron he wouldn't be coming to LSU.

If you don't even know his name, what makes you think can assume to know anything about why he is going to LSU.

If you're the "next" LeBron James wouldn't you go somewhere more likely to win a national championship?

But hey, as the above poster said, maybe him coming to LSU means more than we realize.

Either way, hope he brings a 'ship to the bayou!

Honestly if you are the heir you can probably bring a national championship to most teams...

LeBron was no. 1, Simmons is no. 1. The rest remains to be seen.

And who, under the old rules, would have been the number one draftee straight out of HS. Sure wish the new NBA commissioner would make good on his promise of attempting to extend the rule to two years out of HS rather than one. Simmons is electric folks. Imagine a 6'9" point guard who can create his own shot anytime he wishes, is a dynamic assist man and a superb post player if need be. Maybe the best HS player since LeBron. I said maybe so don't over react but he is damn good.

Pwejr88, he is compared as to be the next LeBron and could go anywhere. however, due to family relationship with coach Jones he picked LSU to be the team he wants to lead to the championship. He has already pulled one 5 star to come with him and could bring more.

Randy I think you are spot on which makes him more comparable to Magic than Lebron. Either way, I'm ok with it

Benny's godfather is David Patrick, an Assistant on the Basketball team coaching staff. Thanks for your interest in the team, how about at least knowing his name next time you conclude how good he will or wont be...

Consensus #1 pick in 2016 draft. Also Blakeney is a lottery in some. If M&M stay we would have 3-4 first rounders and 2-3 second rounders.

Simmons
Blakeney
Mickey
Martin
Quarterman
Gray(yes he is a 2nd rounder in most mocks)
