Pistol Pete averages like 55 a game if the 3pt line was in existence.

Pete is Pete
CJ scored 53 AT Florida in his first SEC game ever
Rudy Macklin had 32 rebounds in his first game
Shaq is Shaq
Bob Pettit was dominant
Thomas may be 6th if he continues at this pace

No he isn’t. He’s a better scorer but he’s not a better all around player than Simmons. He’s not going to get 11-12rpg, he’s not going to get 4-5apg, he’s not going to lead the team in 5-6 statistically diverse categories.

. This is wrong and I can’t stand Simmons. Thomas can’t rebound or have the assists that Simmons had. Simmons was handcuffed by Johnny Jones.

People were upset because they thought they were getting a pure scorer like Thomas and got cranky when he wasn’t, despite all of his other contributions.

as an all around basketball player? No. As a scorer? Yes. He’s the best scorer LSU has had in a long time. He’s amazing.

What a dumb thread. The guy is awesome but LSU has had HISTORICALLY great players across all of college basketball.

Give the guy some time to make his own path.

This kid runs circles around Ben Simmons. Still to this day don’t see anything in Simmons. Now as far as best ever, that’s really hard to say for a guy we’ve only just began to watch. Too many greats have played here, he’s got big shoes to fill to reach that point but he’s got the potential for sure.

Cj could bring the up in a flash and hit a long 3 quick.

Why do you guys try to force posters to pick apart fabulous players like Thomas?


because LSU fans

this board does this in all sports. Let Thomas have 2-3 bad games in a row and they will rip him to shreds

Simmons can’t take over a game. And I am a fan. But he just can’t.

You must have missed the Vandy game where he had 36 points and 14 boards with 4 dimes or north Florida where he had 43 points 16 boards 7dimes and 5 steals.

Honest question--Are you more than 15 years old?


Thomas IS good. Is Thomas CJ, Shaq, Pistol Pete, Petit good? That's unfair to even speculate at this point.

Ok fine. Even Simmons can’t hold Jackson’s jock... so STFU.

Cam is a great scorer. The one rebound one assist a game though is weird AF.

I told the rant what this kid would be last year, said he would lead LSU in scoring as a freshman
