Agreed. It is a fact that LSU has one of the most clueless fan bases in the country. Personally I KNOW that Ben Simmmons is not ready for the NBA and even if he was it has nothing to do with his play at LSU. If all Simmons is at LSU for is to get to the NBA then why should I care? I dont see this greatness in Simmons that some of these fans do.

He's not ready but you know he's gone after this year. Maybe he'll take Johnny with him.

I'm going to ignore what every pro scout and analyst says about the kid and go off of what a poster in the rant thinks. He is 19 years old and you people act like he will be who he is forever. His game is better suited for the NBA than college. If he develops a jump shot, which he will in a few years, he will be a very good player. Will he be the best ever? Probably not but he will be a perennial all star player with the UPSIDE to be a great player. Upside is what the NBA draft is all about. They aren't drafting 19 year old Benny Simmons they are drafting 24-28 year old Ben Simmons.

How is he not NBA ready? Literally nobody in this years class is NBA ready then. He doesn't shoot jumpers because he doesn't need to. I'm sure it needs work,
But even if he could shoot why? He can get to the rim at will or post up and draw a foul every time. Whoever drafts him will work on his jumpshot during the offseason because he literally has displayed evey skill set except shooting. Within 2-3 years he'll be a top 10 if not 5 player.
