I was a doubter in Ben Simmons but he's starting to win me over. I thought his ceiling was a Lamar Odom type player but he's looking like he could be much better. During his prime Odom was a 16 pt, 9 reb, 5 ast. kind of player. Simmons is already exceeding those numbers. Small sample size but still impressive for a rookie.
My Odom comparison was based on what Simmons showed us in college. He played lazy, passive, whatever you want to call it, far too often. Obviously that could have been a byproduct of him not wanting to play at the NCAA level in the first place.
