re: Why did Ben Simmons go to LSU?

You talk like LSU didn't have the talent to stay on the floor with UK.

OK... let's try it this way. Cal would have made him a better player than JJ did. Plus, he would be geared for a solid run in the tourney... all the while not being criticized for disappearing in games. He would have been pushed to play defense. He would not be allowed to sulk when it's a tough night. The same questions will be asked in a few months when he is meeting NBA GMs. Why would he not go to UK? Competition? Fear of being overshadowed by others? Not being the "man?" He better start working on them answers.
