re: Ben Simmons isn't elite

Why? Because he isn't flashy? He makes it look easy and is more worried about fundamentals than highlight reels. Most definitely the type of player every coach wants. He will be a player that will be in the NBA for a long, long time.

Exactly. People think because he doesn't throw down Blake Griffin, Sportscenter highlight dunks every possession he's not elite. Those guys can draft whoever they think is "elite". I'll take this kid.

P.S. He does need to work on his shot. But do people think MJ came into the league with a refined perimeter game?
