Seriously. A lot of it is coaching, shite on the coaches who are making millions, not the players. If he played for Izzo or Coack K there wouldn't be these questions about him

The narrative by the fans of this program will be that he is an elite all-star level talent that was wasted by the program

For like 3 of his first NBA seasons

Then when people realize he's pretty much a slightly taller Evan Turner with a worse jump shot, when he's an average NBA player, this narrative will change

Um... Lamar can shoot and ran the offense at times, Simmons can do neither

Exactly, Odom was a hell of player. Ben Simmmons has tools, but probably not as many tools as Lamar Odom.

I talked to a current scout and he said he is still raw in some areas, but has the chance to be a 20/10/10 guy as a PF...unheard of.

He has no one teaching him how to play.



Uh, Ben's dad played pro ball overseas for many years. I'd argue he's had better instruction than most kids......and still can't shoot or make a left-handed layup.
