He won't; he's talented as hell.

But he also quit on his team halfway through the season and would take off entire games. In a sport where one player can literally make a 20 win difference, he was so disinterested that LSU couldn't even make it to the NCAA tournament despite having 12 gimme games in conference play and another 12-14 gimmes in non-con.

The guy is unquestionably an asshole but in the NBA, his combination of size, quickness and exceptional court vision is going to overcome being a doucherocket 99 times out of 100.

You're probably right but i can still hope.

quit on his team, quit on his school and a prima donna bitch to boot


Maybe his NBA team will hate him so much that they just **** him over. *cross fingers*

As a Lakers fan, I was torn on who I preferred. I do love Simmons talent but man his attitude was just shit at LSU and knowing that, this little outburst of his doesn't surprise me.

Ingram's a more limited player but he may actually be as good a fit for the new NBA if it keeps going in the 3 and D direction. And as for his attitude, there are few better.

Simmons needs work on his temperament and his jump shot. Ingram needs work on his functional strength and his handles. I think Ingram's fixes are easier but I also don't think his ceiling is nearly as high.

Similar to qbs coming in and needing to develop qccuracy, how many guys get to the nba that aren't good shooter and develop into good shooters?

I feel like that's a pretty short list.

Takes more than that at this level
