OK but with his playmaking skills I'd much rather have him top of the key, tripple threat position, handling the ball, making plays for others, than stuck in the key demanding it.


I might even play him at the point for a year ala when LeBron first came into the league and let him lose with 3-4 shooters playing with him spacing the floor.. LOL .. would be fun to watch what he can do.

Yes, because if you're a PF in the NBA you are stuck in the key at all times. Ignore what has happened in the NBA over the last 10 years.

He is 240 lbs and is 6'9/6'10. He has the body of Blake Griffin as an 18 year old, of course he is a PF.

IDK about slight. Simmons is one of the more jacked Freshman you are going to see. Dude's going to be big in a few years.

By your definition LeBron at 250 lbs and 6'9 would also be a PF ...
 
Very solid showing from Diamond Stone last night vs UConn, re-watching it now. He and Trimble really got MD off to a running start, while UConn was still trying to feel things out.

Melo Trimble has some really good eyes(peripheral vision) and court awareness. Often times these days you'll see players turn their heads a split second after they pass - to make it look fancy, Trimble's no-look passes have more substance to them, than that, he uses his eyes to freeze defenders, and he's got the strength and body control to contort his body and wait for the last second to shoot or pass.

- Poor showing for most of UConn. Daniel Hamilton recovered a bit in the 2nd half, he was stymied in the first though. I'm starting to have my doubts he can recover his value to the 1st round.

- Gonzaga vs Montana was a 3 pt game?!

- SMU mops Michigan, Duncan Robinson leads UM in scoring, in 22 minutes off the bench. He's still shooting well over 50% from 3. 1-13 and 0-6 from 3 for Caris Lavert..

-6'5" Senior SG for Miami, Sheldon McClellan continues to shoot over 50% from 3 also. He might be a superior prospect to Malcolm Hill(Illinois) who's been mentioned on the last few pages.

- Michael Gbinije is definetly getting drafted in the 2nd, despite his age. Tyler Lydon really stuffs the stat sheet, damn good find by Cuse he's a 1st round pick.

No Karnowski so Gonzaga down to only 3 good players. Wiltjer, Sabonis, and Perkins. No depth at all. Montana also has Grizzlies.

Did you not watch him in Miami where he won 2 rings as a PF?

Well if things go as they stand and Philly gets #1 and takes Simmons and gets their players in they would have Saric/Noel/Okafor/Embiid/Grant up front. Of course good chance one of them gets traded but 4/5 spots would be crowded. Covington does play the 3 but could also play the 2 so I would say Philly would want Simmons at the 3. Then if Lakers could actually win a couple of games they could have 4th-5th pick for their PG. (Dunn/Murray).

But he played the majority of his career at the 3. I never said Simmons can't play the 4 but I think he can impact the game more as a 3.

LeBron is playing the 3 right now still next to Love and Mozgov... lol

Teams always go small in the playoffs. Draymond played the C when they won the ring this year. He's not playing the 5 in the regular season, it's not sustainable.


Simmons could play the 4 or the 5 in the playoffs too depending on the match-up, but during the regular season I'd play him at the 3.

Well you aren't a very smart person when it comes to basketball.
