Listening to Mike and Mike this morning and they had a question for Love It or Shove It. Bubba asked if Andre Drummond is the player under 24 or so that you want to build a team around. Golic said that is false and offered up Porzingis as his pick. Greeny also said that was false and chose BEN SIMMONS, Ben freaking Simmons. A College freshman who has only played in 3-4 games so far, IN COLLEGE.....

These are all horrible answers. The correct response is Davis, maybe Towns. The real question is why are you listening to Mike and Mike? These guys know about much as your girlfriend who feigns interest in order to placate you.

Hate to admit I was watching but the question excluded Davis.​

Then it's completely arbitrary and a really stupid question. It's not like you have to choose between Simmons and Drummond in the upcoming draft.

These guys have proven time and time again that they are idiots. Take no notice of them.

Some of you need to stop letting ESPN influence you so much.

Simmons is a fun player to watch, and by all accounts a good kid. It shouldn't be that hard to ignore the over-the-top media hype if you want to.

When you are being bukkaked every time you turn on a college basketball event, it's kind of hard to look the other way.

AD is 22 years old and 7ft 270+ in a league where the dominant big man of yesteryear is rare. He is nearly averaging 20/20 and has a lot of years left and will only get better. With his size and athleticism in 5 years he may be an unstoppable force the league hasnt seen since shaq. The more i see of AD all uconn bias aside i dont think there is a player under 25 that id take over him.

I said he "might" be right. Only fair to wait to see a little more of Simmons. Thing is neither are good shooters but one can really pass the ball and the other is a pure brute. Tough call but both are very good.

You take Anthony Davis every time, and possibly Karl Towns as well.

But Drummond looks like he's gonna be a legitimate franchise player (and might already be one). He has a chance to approach some records that have remained untouched for decades.

Love Anthony Davis but his injury issues concern me. In his 3 seasons he has yet to play even 70 games. This season hes missed about 4 games already.

So Ben Simmons casually drops the 'ol 43-14-7-5-3 line last night. Hype indeed.

Philly is trying to get at least 10 of the top big men for a massive down low rotation. Getting there.

The free throw shooting is a real problem. Because of that, I'd take Davis, Towns, and Kawhi over him.
