If Ben stayed three years he would still be what he is today. A guy who would rather look flashy instead of taking over the game like he should.

Oh, shut up.

Not me. The teams he were on are way worse than this lsu team. Saying he had no heart is just stupid. Let's remember who his coach was. I doubt the other players on the team cared if he scored 40 a game or not. I would love to watch a player do what Pete did today no matter the record. Everyone would watch it and love it.

No fricking shite.

But you and the other mouth-breathers that are laying this season at Simmons' feet are laughably stupid.

I have not blamed this season on Ben . All I have said is that there have been times he seems to disappear during games. Yes I do blame his effort the last 10 mins against Oklahoma as s key factor in us losing. He is a very good player on a team that could be much better with better coaching. It's pretty simple.

It's hilarious how this board loves Pete and hates Ben. They are the same thing. Unreal college players with once in a lifetime SEC stats who couldn't win anything because their teams were poor


They are the same thing? No...no they are not.

You're going on some rampage about fans hating Simmons but this isn't even about that.

I mean they are the same thing.

Pete sets college scoring record

Ben will be the first ever player to be top 5 in every category

Both were on shite teams

Both had shite coaches

Both will be successful in the NBA

The difference is Pete got to play in from of fans that appreciated him

Ben has to play in the social media dumbass generation

Finally some clarity. How is a player supposed to "take over" a game when he and his teammates' respective roles have never been cemented? He's our best PG and our best post player. Which is he? This has been the most poorly-coached team I've ever seen. Simmons has done way more than enough to push this team to where it needs to be. His coaches and teammates (minus Hornsby) let him and the fans down.

Sometimes we all need a reality check.

Ben has a great upside- but for him to make it at the NBA level he has a lot of work to do. As the SEC has progressed coaches have been able to defend him.

He will probably not return to LSU but he really could use another year at the college level.

He will learn twice as much playing in the NBA. Better coaching and more practice time

It's amazing that people think another year under Jones would do him any good compared to making millions and learning under professionals and not having to go to class at all ever again.

The poor supporting cast on this years team weren't poor when they signed that LOI. Everyone on TD was praising them. So now they all suck??? You fricks go to the extreme depending on a win or a loss. I've always said Ben was no better than a glorified freshman player. (look it up) The NBA will be screwing themselves by drafting him, but I dgaf because I never gaf about the NBA.

No. I'm referring to the player who will be the first ever player to be top 5 in every category. Hence "once in a lifetime"

B. Simmons will never be close to Pete, I am lucky enough to have watched both. I saw 98% of Pete at LSU and with the Jazz.

I am not saying B. S. Will not be a good pro but will not come even close to Pete

Well that makes sense. So you don't care about the NBA and don't watch it, but you know Simmons will suck there Well the people that get paid money to watch it and scout it, are licking their chops over him
