Poor man's Billy Owens.

4 years of tanking for a Brook Lopez type player (Okafor) for Greg Oden (Embiid) and for Lamar Odom (Ben Simmons)


:lol

Yep, weak draft class, his ceiling is Lamar odom

[bizil]

Simmons' size and skillset reminds me of Odom. Odom at his best wasn't a franchise caliber player. BUT Odom was still All Star caliber despite never making an All Star team. With that said, I still don't think Odom maxed out on his potential. If he has an Odom type run, that would still be a very good career. But for a #1 pick, hopefully u can get an eventual superstar player or multiple All Star kind of guy.

[Nick Young]

Lamar Odom was the 3rd option and 6th man on a team that won 2 titles. There's nothing bad about being Lamar Odom.

[Hey Yo]

He = a young Kobe. Dictating where he wants to play.

That's being a punk ass biatch.
