    25/7/5 against another Top-25 team after a Triple Double against Top-5 Kansas earlier.

    Ben Simmons tonight - 43 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, and 3 blocks. Like that type of versatility would help this team.

    When does it become time to cut ties with our infatuation with Simmons. Is it realistic that he doesn't go #1? Would Philly trade Simmons' upside for anyone on our roster outside of Damian Lillard?

    I guess you could see a #1 for #? + Player(s)

    No GM is trading Ben Simmons.

    No one will trade for him but you have to hope that you have a realistic shot at getting him and getting lucky to get the #1 pick....probably Top-5.

    If Portland gets the #1 pick, they better not fuck it up.

    I'd vomit if the Lakers got Simmons.

    According to http://www.nbadraft.net/2016mock_draft right now he'll go 26 to Chicago. If he's top 10 I'm sure he's a lotto pick.

    For me? Never. I'll always get to watch him play for Australia. :ghoti:

    When Philly coach Brett Brown was head coach of the Australian Men's National Team, he selected a 17 year old Ben Simmons for the team. So Philly's coach Brown already has experience coaching Simmons (as well as Simmon's dad Dave).

    I dig Ellenson. He'd be a great addition to our talent pool.

    Skal has been touted as a top-2 pick but he isn't at all that impressive.

    He's about to turn 20 and he's a freshman. Very skinny and loves the mid-range shot.

    I see LMA as his ceiling.

    NBAdraft.net dropped him to #7 -- DX dropped him from #1 to #3

    I really like ben simmons but we probably won't get the 1st pick. I really like brandon ingram or jaylen brown. i rather have ingram since he remind so much of kevin durant when he was in college. skinny, but can shoot the light out. I also think we should take a look at gary payton the 2nd. i think he can truly stop curry like his dad was able to stop MJ.
