Too bad he didn't have a chest when playing at LSU.

Reddick has some very productive years in LA. I bet they wish they had him this year since they missed the playoffs.

Nope. I saw Chris Jackson and Shaq in person many times in college. Simmons wasn't as good. He did not take over and dominate games the way Jackson did on offense and Shaq did on defense.

I don’t really get the hate. If you want to blame someone for the season he was at LSU you need to look no further than Johnny jones.

He has played point guard every game in the nba and is 4th in the league in assists. He never should have been put at the 4 &5 for entire games. Especially to just let quarterman play point.

"Ben Simmons is looking like Magic Johnson"

Ok, well, compare the shooting percentages. I think you will find that your statement leans to hyperbole. Jason Kidd, maybe.

Nobody will ever say he was prone to playing with too much enthusiasm while at LSU.

Interesting, per NBA.com

Magic's shooting percentage was 52%
Ben Simmons shooting percentage is 54%


Jason Kidd shooting percentage is 40%
