He's not quite dominant yet but his skill set is just unreal.



I mean I can see how people say this because hes not this prolific shooter that takes over a game like steph curry. Hes not a physically dominant post man a la Anthony Davis. Its just kind of ho hum he got a double double...again....20 and 10...again...but he makes it so consistent game after game that this thread being made literally after every game is getting ridiculous.

WGAF if the OP doesn't think he's elite? He leads the nation in double doubles, and will go TOP TWO in the NBA draft. Kid is good, OP is a TARD

For the record, I completely disagree with the OP. He is absolutely elite. No one in basketball possesses a skill set like his. I'm not ready to put him up there with great freshmen like Durant, Melo, and Davis just yet.

I hope that you are right OP. And he comes back next year.

Dude. He can take the ball and go left or right with ease. And score with either hand when he does that. An excellent passer. When he learns the long range jumper his game will be really really really really really good. He has all of the tools and I am gonna be a fan in the NBA. Love this kid.

Me either...he needs to develop a consistent jump shot to rise to their level.

He's a better freshman than Anthony Davis was. Davis didn't score near as much as Ben and grabbed about 8 rebounds a game.

Davis was a better defender but he was just the oop man on offense. A garbage point guy. Simmons does it all for his team.

He reminds me of a taller Evan Turner.

im not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but people forget that Anthony Davis didn't put up elite stats (besides blocks) and people thought he was the next jesus christ.

Well every NBA scout disagrees but I'm sure this will go 5 pages with Alabama Hillbillys and A&M Texicans explaining why they're right.

Doesn't matter. LSU won't make the NCAA Tournament.

He’s a great talent. A 6’10” point forward. At the very least in the NBA he’s going to be a rich man’s Lamar Odom.
