First full college game I have seen for Simmons (I watched him a little in HS, Prince Ali played him last year). I hope the Pelicans tank and they get this guy for a small ball 4 with Davis at the 5. I hated on him a little, and he can't shoot that well, but this kid is going to be an awesome 2nd weapon for an elite NBA squad.

Buy high on FSU as a final 4 team next year. They have 3 young guards that are absolute studs and have already landed a 5 star 4, and look to be the huge favorite for another borderline 5 star big.

Ben Simmons will be a first weapon. He is amazing. On another note, Dunn could break some kind of steals record this year if he keeps up the pace, he's averaging like 5 a game right now

Too early to say if he can translate to a #1 option at the next level if his jumper doesn't develop. He has yet to make a jumper this this year through 3 games and he won't be playing the 5 in the NBA like he's doing so much of right now and being able to drive on overmatched defenders.

Would not be surprised if Bacon and Beasley end up leaving after this year. Guess it all depends if they are able to keep up this kind of production when league play starts up.
