Anonymous Scout On Ben Simmons: "The LSU Thing Was Just A S--- Show."

An anonymous NBA scout that goes by the name of "Finch" had some interesting comments about LSU forward Ben Simmons and his one year in Baton Rouge. Per CampusRush.com:

quote:

Ben Simmons, 6'10" freshman forward, LSU: "I would take him first. He's a transcendent player because of his size and his ability to play multiple positions. Shooting is a concern, but that kind of size and skill set doesn't come along very often. There were a lot of things going on with his teammates at LSU. There's no denying he has a big sense of self-entitlement. He's got an aloofness to him that is concerning. The LSU thing was just a s--- show. There was too much allowed to happen. You had a film crew following him around all year. Whatever the concerns, he had one of the most successful college seasons we've seen in recent years. You wonder if he ends up like [Knicks forward] Carmelo Anthony, someone who's a great player but not a winning player."

Simmons averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game last season at LSU. He is expected to be drafted with one of the top 2 picks on Thursday.
