Lol so he is more mobile. But he is far worse at everything else. And that's not even close.

You are a clown. Simmons can't hold draymonds jock. Teams draft on their needs, and by how garbage the 76ers have been, them drafting Simmons first overall means nothing.

Tampa, you do know that we'll have to revisit this thread when we compare Ben prime to Draymond prime right, not Draymond prime to bens freshman year at a crappy b ball school. Your arguments are amateur

Draymond Green was a 4 year college player, and even after his 4th year he was still not even close to as good as Ben Simmons was his Freshman year.

With that being said, Green didn't become a viable NBA player until his 3rd year in the league. By this time he was 25 years old. That is the Draymond Green you are seeing now.


Ben Simmons makes 20 next month. Have a clue about a players development curve before you spout off about shite you dont know about. Simmons is already a better rebounder, passer and ball handler than Draymond Green. He is 10x more athletic. So yea, he doesnt shoot as well(Green shot 20% from 3 in his rookie year), and doesnt play as good of defense. But in given time, he's going to be a star.

It is stunning that this isn't completely obvious and even needs to be pointed out to people.

And Draymond Green is shooting 30.5% on jumpers for his NBA career

Not sure how that is a "check" for Green

Yall still have yet to point out what Simmons has done?!?! He played 1 year of college ball and his trams was better without him on the court (they scored more pts/min and had a higher fg % without him on the court than with!) He's 6'10" and he can dribble, great! What else can do??? What has he ever done for yall to put him on this pedastool???

Ben Simmons will be happy to have half the career Draymond Green has had so far...

Maybe Simmons will send us a 5-star kid one day too to make up for all the disappointment he caused!

What do stats matter when your team is more efficient without you on the court than with you on the court???

Simmons will have to improve on defense and have a jumper or he will never succeed at a high level in the pro's

Your question is stupid. Revisit whatever you want. You are just begging for attention. Simmons is not even close to green. You are the only genius who even asks such a ridiculous question. Remember you asked the amateur question
