Let’s just say what is true.
One and dones suck. They aren’t good for college basketball and are not able to be considered into any discussion about the best players to play for individual school.

GM FG% 2P% 3P% 3PA Stl Blk
Zion 33 68 74.7 33.8 71 70 59
Ben 33 56 56.1 33.3 3 65 27
Ben had only 3 attempts from 3 and his FG% still much less than Zion.

Simmons never seemed like an LSU Tiger. Too arrogant and selfish.

Ok but fg% isn’t close to encompassing a players value and Zion had two players who started out ranked higher than him getting him easy looks. Ben has to literally do everything by himself. Plus Ben can do more than Zion, he led the worst franchise in the last 25 years to the second round as a rookie and the conf finals his second season. Zion won’t see the playoffs until he leaves NOLA.

Zion made it to a Reginoal Final and went to overtime in that game.
Ben Simmons never won jack shite in college. Jack shite. Yea his coach was horrible. But he played with some good players and if you’re good enough to be #1 in the NBA draft you should be able to carry your team to success.
He didn’t. And he won’t in the NBA either.
He’s a good player that has been prromoted his whole life to be a great player when it just isn’t true.

Lmfao he already has in the NBA, do you watch basketball? Zion had two guys that were ranked higher than him to start the season at Duke along with 2 more McDonald’s AAs and had to have the refs give them the game in the second round vs UCF. Lol your logic is getting to the regionals of the NCAA tourney is better than the Conf finals of the NBA. You’ve just committed argument suicide.

Oh, I watch plenty of basketball.
And I don’t believe Ben Simmons will be worth the contract he just got.

He already is worth it lol. He led the 76ers to the second round as a rookie. The run they went on to get there was without Embiid, he was hurt. It was Simmons who won Rookie of the year BTW and turned around the worst franchise maybe ever, they’ve set tons of futility records. Look you hate him because he’s a 1 and done, that’s fine but don’t lie about his accomplishments and talent to mask a personal thing.

I don't care what he does as A Sixer... What he did as a Tiger wasn't much.....

I know it was only the second greatest freshman season in program history and the only reason it wasn’t #1 was because #1 is the greatest freshman season in NCAA history. You may as well say Patrick Peterson didn’t do shite as a Tiger.

It’s my opinion Simmons coasted especially on D.
2 steals a game isn't too shabby by a PF. As a reference, Waters avg 2.9 at PG.
Your problem must be Simmons did all the below without trying, and think he'd have won LSU the NC all by himself if he just would've applied himself.

Lmfao you obviously didn’t watch shite because saying he quit maybe the stupidest thing said yet. He did disappear for the final couple minutes, not because he quit but because the point guard wouldn’t let anyone else touch the ball si everyone disappeared. What did you want him to do, walk up to Quarterman punch him and take the ball? Maybe start screaming during a timeout for coach and his pet TQ to give him the ball that way you could really hate him and label him a trouble maker. Lol you didn’t watch the game and you don’t know the first thing about basketball, Jones putting Hornsby on Buddy Hield in the second half lost that game for us not your made up bullshite.

Simmons held the Frosh assist record at the 4 spot, until Waters broke it as a 1.
