Ben Simmons

[DavisIsMyUniBro]

suprised no one is talking about him here.

I honestly think he and davis will be battling it out for the next few years if they both are healthy.

early days, but he looks like a potential top 15-10 candidate, and can probably be even more.

6ft 10 sf, who is faster than most pgs, has a 42 inch vertical, and is a point guard level passer? uhh, thats pretty good. will probably be around 250 pounds at the start of the ncaa season, so he begins ahead of the curve, weight wise, than davis did.

[DavisIsMyUniBro]

on a sidenote, they said he has kobe's work ethic and proffesionalism.

Austin Rivers was #1 highschool prospect

[OnFire]

I thought he was consensus #1 overall

Im highly dubious of that vert number. I presume you got it from LSU's recent measurements? a bunch of their players apparently put up insane numbers, they must be fudging them.

Regardless, im not that high on him, hes a solid number one pick, not like a generational talent.

If he's to be a superstar, it will likely be with him dominating the ball, and to do that, he'll need to improve a lot as a shooter/scorer. He could end up like a bigger better tyreke evans. Someone who has great passing instincts for a big player, but needs the ball to be effective. Still an all-star, but not a superstar.

Brandon ingram has a better chance of being a star imo.

I've only seen him play a few times, but he reminds me of LeBron. Big body, good handle, and prefers to pass-first. Doesn't seem as fast or explosive as LeBron in HS though.

Nooo

Anthony Davis
Andre Drummond
Austin
MKG
Beal

[ClipperRevival]

Looks like a Rudy Gay type player to me. Athletic but not off the charts athletic. Listed at 6'10" but his game is more like a SFs.

[HylianNightmare]

Future star

Nooo

Davis
Rivers

Stupid ass Rivals actually had him #1. All major sites had them both 1 or 2 (or Unibrow 1 on all sites except Rivals).

Rivals = Garbage. Josh Selby, anyone?


Simmons likens to Odom, imo. I love his game tho. Knows how to impact without scoring the ball.

He had a 41 inch vert in the Nike camp.
His athleticism is off the charts. Lsu might have been lying but even so, in comparison with his teammates he was the 2nd fastest guy on the roster

If we are talking about athleticism, I honestly think he isn't that far off on Davis in that regard.

He can jump higher, and is a bit slower. I think he had an explosive first step, need to see him play again.

I really think he will be something like Lebron.

fair enough then

LSU should be fun to watch, it'll be nice to see some more depth in the SEC than in years past.

[LoneyROY7]

He's one of the best prospects in a while...no one's talking about him b/c the college season hasn't started yet. Once we get to see a few games, the hype will ensue.

[GIF REACTION]

He's Australian

That's why he wins.

[TripleA]

I watched him live he is the best highschool player I have ever seen live since Kevin love. He is fast as hell and he passes really well. He is unstoppable in the open court.

[broy_mvp]

This guy is going to bust. His ceiling is a more athletic Tayshaun Prince. Nothing special.

He was 18 in the McDonalds game

Dude is going to be HUGE physically

No way can he bust unless he gets injured
