This is where he sits in the SEC
Points/Game - 3rd (19.8)
Assists/Game - 5th (4.9)
Rebounds/Game - 1st (12.7; next closest is at 9.8)
FG % - 3rd (55.6%)
He's top 5 in every main category. Not sure what he needs to do to be considered "elite". Looks like he's "elite" at 3 major aspects of the game.
Looks pretty damn elite to me, especially for a freshman

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.
Well stated, he doesn't appear to be dominant and take over games when you're watching but the stats are there.
Honestly, there's been several times when a player on the other team stood out to me more but I'm no nba scout nor nba fan licking my chops at his potential. I am simply a college basketball fan.

And at this time next year he will have earned more money than you will earn in a lifetime
Posted on 1/27/16 at 9:22 am to 3morereps
...and yet he will be drafted #1 in the NBA, so......
Posted on 1/27/16 at 9:28 am to 3morereps
And that's why he is projected the #1 draft pick?

Kid has a heck of a skill set, and the physical build as well, to be successful over the long term.

No, just no. He is absolutely elite. He has some very raw aspects of his game but he is a very talented player who has a lot asked of him at this point in his career.

Kerry kitties are you serious. They play two different positions ad two different type of players. You shouldnt post about basketball anymore
Posted on 1/27/16 at 10:14 am to 3morereps
Why? Because he isn't flashy? He makes it look easy and is more worried about fundamentals than highlight reels. Most definitely the type of player every coach wants. He will be a player that will be in the NBA for a long, long time.

Yea, a 6'10'' guy with elite guard skills who is averaging 20 pts, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block a game as a true freshman in the SEC is not elite.
Makes sense.

lol. I'm downvoted for giving him a compliment
I know what you meant bro. LF7 is one of the best players in college football.

OP is an idiot. Ben Simmons is a great passer, and inside threat. He is an elite college player, and if he gets more physical and works on his outside shot he can be elite in the NBA.

He's elite. An excellent ballplayer. Anyone would be better with him on their team.
My only slight is he is immature with his tantrums and mouth. He jaws a little much for me. If you are good, and know you are good, let your game do all the talking.

Dude reminds me of a poor man's Kerry Kittles
