After he takes a shot (misses or makes it), why is he always the 9th person down the court? Can't be giving them easy layups down low while he's outside of the 3 pt arc.

No way in hell is he the best college basketball player in the country right now, it really isn't very close right now either.

No one is more critical of elite players than LSU fans.

Y'all people are so funny. He prob not the best in college. Yea.
But he's still 16 games into his 19 year old body. Dude is a stud. Stop it.

Not when you consider the context of what he does for this team. He is by far the best defender on the team, the best rebounder, the best passer, etc...

Criticizing his effort on defense considering what he does all game is ridiculous.

This team would struggle if you replaced Simmons with any player in the country.

Take Justin Jackson from Carolina and LSU is instantly better. He can score from anywhere on the floor and he rebounds and plays defense.

Simmons doesn't really play hard.

But we don't have many guys that do.
