LSU was just a stepping stone to the NBA due to the NBA rules. JJ was just a pawn and had no ability to coach him. This years team 100% better then 2 years ago!

Are these ranks in SEC history or just the SEC in 2015-16?

I agree, but he should be more appreciative of his time spent at LSU. He knows how much LSU and its fans loved him, but he acts like he doesn't give a sh*t. That's what makes me indifferent to Ben Simmons.

That would be John Williams before he got to the league and was fat. Williams was so freaking smoothed and had an outside shot with his ability to run the court.
Give me all of these over him.
Bob Pettit Hall of Fame he was a monster scorer.
Maravich hall of Fame
Shaq Hall of Fame
John Williams
Derrick Taylor
CJ
Mickey
JMartin


Put Simmons on a team with any of those guys and even Dale Brown could win a championship.

A friend of mine asked me this question the other day. My response:

I understand he went to LSU but Simmons means nothing to me, much like LSU to him.

There was a dream that was Ben Simmons. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.

Why?
I am not going to say I "hate" the kid...but I will definitely say that I was very put off by his arrogant attitude and some of the things that he said about LSU. If you choose not to feel that way, then that is fine, but you can't condemn those who DO feel that way because it is not unreasonable.

I like Ben Simmons. I don't think calling his time at LSU a "waste" was a shot at LSU, I think it was a shot at the NCAA/NBA for its dumb one and done rule. There's no reason Ben Simmons should've been forced to spend a year here. I wish him the best and if he does well, my fairweather arse is definitely claiming him as a tiger
