Have heard this stuff too, but how much of it is true and not media being media I wonder?

[valkorum]

I would like to hear from Ben's agent to find out why he isn't working out with the top 3 teams... before I make a judgement

Not sure about the others but the dealing before when 76'ers was working something out got under Ben's skin. Don't know what they did wrong though

[R.Griffen]

Also wondering if it has something to do with Ben saying he produced enough and doesn't need to do anymore. Which was basically the reason why LSU didn't play in the NIT tournament

[Cookie311993]

I've read that he hasn't worked out for sides in the top 3, because it can only drop his draft stock.
He met with Philly members just the other day

[Toga]

Simmons hasn't worked out for anyone, has he?

[R.Griffen]

Simmons hasn't worked out for anyone, has he?

no because he thinks his regular season in college is all the he needed to provide

[Toga]

I don't think that says anything about him not wanting to play for certain teams then.

He wants to go #1, general consensus at the moment is that he will be #1 (without needing to work out). Smart business decision.

Ben Simmons is a mutal friend. Guy is a legit douche. Doesnt have the attitude to make it big imo. Will be a great player though. Think i take Brandon ahead  of Simmons, prob even Jaylen or Murrary. He is a unique player who will be a 20/10 guy but doubt he is someone to build around.

the one downside of going for a team that is good is that the draft is very boring.

Cleveland doesn't even have a pick.

The other downside is that they lose in the finals  :P

in fairness my brain agreed with you.


back on topic Simmons despite all the off court stuff is still my number 1. he is young bring him into the NBA and he is now a little fish in a big pond. his ego will take a beating playing for the sixers aswell.

[Jay]

Simmons number 1 for sure. After him I don't think there is a huge difference between Ingram and the next tier. I think Boston will take Murray, not sure how to feel about it yet but no guy in that range really jumps out.
