Will Simmons get passed by Ingram? This guy from Yahoo thinks he should ...check out the highlights below:

Simmons’ box scores have grown increasingly hollow. One NBA executive described him as a “taller Rajon Rondo, a more athletic Evan Turner, or a skinnier Royce White.” Simmons has displayed a penchant for stat-mongering like few players in recent memory, seeming to pad his numbers in blowouts.

Damn, if he is right than the Lakers are screwed even if they keep pick and get the #1 spot ...

Dude is a light skin Lamar Odumb & the Okafor of the 2016 draft class aka hyped up to be a generational talent like Timmay but ends up being a 20/10 guy like Al Jefferson. LoL @ folks comparing him to Magic or Lebron.

Simmon's game reminds me of Randle but is distinguished by his better size, athleticism and excellent court vision. If the Lakers somehow ends up with the #1 pick, it would be extremely hard to pass up on Simmons. But personally, I think Ingram is the better fit who can slide seamlessly, offer a versatile offensive presence, handle the rock and complement their core.

He's definitely got an advanced feel for the game for his age. He's 6'10 with a handle. And he's a good passer and rebounder.

But... I've watched his last 3 games, and he CANNOT shoot at all. I was wondering why he never shot jumpers in games, and then they showed a clip of him shooting jumpers pre-game, and he literally missed every single one of them. Like 7 jumpers in row. None were even close. Luckily a jumper is something that can be developed, but it'll take some time with him.

The other thing I've noticed is his ty at ude. You can tell he doesn't want to be there. I don't really blame him though tbh. They're a horribly coached team with little talent. Plus these kids who know they're 1-and-done are just sort of going through the motions till they get drafted. They just want to be in the NBA, and I can't hold it against them. But he just doesn't seem like a very good leader. That's why scouts are questioning him right now. He's y as (understandable) and acts like he's above it all. He's has shown zero leadership this season in a losing year for LSU (the didn't even make the tourney), and he doesn't put any effort into Defense right now either, which leaves his teammates frustrated with him. He'll be alright in the pros, but he's got some noticeable holes in his game. His at ude will determine a lot of his future.

He can't shoot for . He's also a ball dominant player.

[spursistan]

Yeah, legit scouts are coming in and finally putting the brakes on his hype train..if you can't shoot in 2016 NBA, you are automatically overrated..An this dude just signed for Rich Paul agency and the Lebron circle ...In it for the brand and trappings of celebrity before he actually sets a foot in NBA..not exactly a great sign about his mindset and priorities..

i want ingram, that is durant lite. d''angelo would easily average 11 dimes a game with this dude

Ben seems perfect for the Lakers...

He already knows how to miss the postseason.

Ingrams shot needs some work. Release point is low, not particularly smooth, nor quick. He would have trouble getting looks as clean in the nba as he did in college.

dbust and Simmons played together in high school didn't they? He's going to lobby for Simmoms

Nary a was sold

[CitizenDwayne]

Simmons' post game is light years beyond Randle. He needs work on his jumper and defensive consistency, but he's still a stud. He may have at ude issues though.

thats my worry, plus he just signed with rich paul. paul is notorious for some shady . i can see him declining workouts with other teams should the lakers land a top 3 pick to ensure simmons lands with the lakers

[Spurtacular]

At first, I thought this was likely media spin; now, I have to wonder if Ingram is not the better pick.

Wiggins 2.0 might be the better comparison.

[K...]

What's scary is that Philly could get both.
