Not sure if anyone follows college as much as I do. But going to be interesting which teams go away from Simmons if they don't win the SEC which would be incredible if they did. I believe not playing in the tournament will hurt but he is too far infront still

Ingram could be the number 1 pick. It still looks like a 2 horse race but LSU is just a terrible team. I read the coaches seem to be avoiding running the offense through Simmons at the moment, he'll be a top 2 pick based on ceiling and the fact there is no one proven after him, but it wouldn't surprise me if a team like Philly go with Ingram instead.

Simmons terrible team, team terrible coach and he has a terrible jump shot so he can't win them games is how I see it. Ingram way too skinny for NBA but definitely has the class

People are starting to compare him to KD. You can put on size but class is permanent

Disagree with this. Every year people overthink it and end up trying to pick apart the standout prospect as it gets closer to the draft. Simmons has all this hype for a reason, he's the most talented player in the draft class, and one of the most gifted prospects we've seen over the last few years.

Coming into this season Skal was viewed as a top prospect that could have possibly gone number one but has struggled at the college level, but because he was a top prospect heading into the season should a team draft him at 2? Hell no. Ingram has played lights out over the course of the season.

It's a two player draft, Ingram has done nothing to hurt his stock and keeps rising because of his ability to score. Simmons is an athlete that is really good at passing the rock but has a broken jump shot that hasn't improved, he is basically a 7 foot Ricky Rubio. Ingram is super skillful and has insane length (7'3" wingspan). It's not like a team is reaching for him, his biggest knock is his size because he is skinny. 

Simmons isn't doing himself any favours by flunking his classes either. The questions are around what exactly is he doing in that time because he's game doesn't appear to be improving (could also be a coaching issue). It's going to be pretty funny if Ingram turns out to be the better NBA player and goes at pick 2, just hope Simmons doesn't have Oden's injury problems :P

Jokes aside, I'm not saying Simmons is going to be a bust, he'll probably be in the Andrew Wiggins mold but with better court vision. There is a real possibility that Ingram does become the better NBA player. It is a two player draft talent wise and then there is a drop off. A top two pick is going to be coveted.

I haven't seen him play yet but one guy I keep reading about is Buddy Hield. He is a bit older but he might be the best pure shooter in the draft. I think ge was sitting in the late teens earlier in the year but is looking at being around the 5 mark now

I remember someone who had lower leg problems but massive talent.

people said he couldn't get healthy either
Sam Bowie? Andrew Bynum? Michael Olowokandi? Kwame Brown? Zydrynaus Ilgauskas? Bill Walton?

so can we pick Kevin Durant instead of this lemon yet?

Lakers I didn't expect that.

will be interesting to see if they can take the record now.

can only drop 3 games.

Have Spurs 3 times i would think they will take at least 1.
Portland twice
Clips once
Boston once

besides those 7 games should be pretty comfortable with the rest. saying that I wouldnt have picked today.

Spurs are only 2.5 games behind so if they win 2/3 of the matchups it could get very interesting.

Curry finally had an off night!

1 from 10 from 3 and then Thompson going 0 from 8, even Barnes went 0 from 4


Seems like the Lakers focussed on defending the 3 and it worked.

My Chumps

nothing but defence here between the Spurs and Indiana.

PG vs Kawhi battle is super intriguing!

So that's Kyrie, Love and Blatt who LeBron has had an issue with in his short stint back with the Cavs. Who's next? ::)
