Is anyone else watching this LSU game right now?
That Simmons can't shoot and is hesitant? I don't think anyone cares. He is 19 and the most talented player in college who is 6'9 and an elite athlete with elite IQ.

Thought I would just drop this here rather than digging up the 2018 thread, for now.
I spoke with someone on the UK staff about 2017 recruits, today. Here is who I was told are the main targets as of today;
Trae Young
John Petty
Kris Wilkes
Jarred Vanderbilt
DeAndre Ayton
Nick Richards
A few notes;
Cal is very high on Vanderbilt and is personally predicting him to blow up next season. REALLY wants to coach him.
UK feels great about all of these except Ayton.. only because he's so quiet and doesn't show his hand at all.
Just saw this and was like "Wut, Cal is leaving UK for Vandy?"
Well their missing a good game. I like to see the top players under pressure. Simmons peripheral stats are off the charts, I'm not sure if this type of play is really going to wow NBA each and every scout though.. he's kind of just using his natural advantage and coasting, and letting the guards handle the scoring load.
Brandon Sampson is very impressive, leading them in scoring off the bench, even thought they've bene starting him.
Tim Quarterman is a certified ball-hawk too love seeing that from a guard.
If it's the end of the year and he is still this hesitant, then you have a valid concern. This far into the season though, it just sounds like nitpicking.

Ben Simmons has one of the wildest stat lines you'll see at the NCAA level. 2 points on 0-5 FG, but 13 rebs, 10 assists, 3 blocks, 3 steals
He might be a good fantasy player, but not really sure if I'd want him on my NBA team?
Looks kinda like something Aaron Gordon or the Greek Freak would put up.
