Following 2016 potential draftees

I'm still curious about Quarterman as a NBA player. Pretty inconsistent but I also feel Simmons has hurt his stats this year. When he has good game they are very good.

Ye but his lack of shooting will be amplified in the NBA, when there's not three 6'3 guys on the field with 6'3 3/4 wingspans.
Like everything dies down when ppl with good bodies guard him, or in his case guard someone else unless he's within 10 feet from the basket.
If he was engaged off the ball, they could either mask it by letting him run "unibrow-curls" while catching it on the run or using as the last passing option for deception plays. With his length he can see and pass over defenses so well.

Maybe, but if you put him on a good shooting team his other skills will be amplified by the spacing. He is a PF, he doesn't have to be an amazing shooter out of the gate with the way he rebounds and runs.

THat's fair. He's pretty skinny, but most nights that won't hurt him. And his team is gonna suck anyways unless it's one of those teams with 1% odds winning the lottery.

Skinny? Are you serious? The dude is built and has an incredible frame for a player his age.

Also, if he gets drafted by Boston (they own the Nets pick) or Minnesota (obviously they are going to be good soon) he might not be on a bad team.
 
Really, besides the Nets and Sixers, there aren't that many awful teams in the NBA. The Nets dont even have a draft pick though.

He's a big boy, thats why at his size and skillset he's got no excuse to do anything less than dominate college, which may seem unfair to some, he's the projected #1 pick though..

I mean he's basically a sophomore age wise.

So what's the opinion about Hields defense?
 
Simmons could go to the Suns or Pelicans, all who have great players and could immediately become a good team with Simmons on the team.
