    -Simons blossomed into one of the top 10 prep prospects in the country and committed to Louisville. But after the school became a target of the FBI's probe into college basketball corruption, Simons backed off his pledge and decided to turn professional instead.

    The "One and Done...Done?" thread ended 3 days ago. I was going to reawaken it, but I see that it got distracted into politics. So we need a new debate about keeping a year of college mandatory. I'm in favor of it.

    A high school draftee needs to be big for his position, or else he'll be a long-term project.

    When we drafted Telfair, I was shocked because he was the smallest high schooler I'd ever seen drafted. Simons is 6-3 (slightly smaller than average for a PG, a shrimp for a SG) and weighed 181 (a diminutive Tom Thumb at either guard position) when last measured.

    I don't see Ed Davis, Pat Connaughton or Bazz coming back...those positions will be filled...we'll field a different rotation next season...probably see a lot more Meyers and Pappa G next season off the bench

    Seeing more of Meyers and Pappa G would be a disaster.

    It’s more likely we use the TPE than signing someone with the MLE. The latter is the players choice

    Simons is 6-4, which is definitely above average for a PG, and wingspan matters.

    One can only hope that PA opems the pocket book up and buys a few half way decent second round picks to make up for this

    Read that Simons is a sponge. I likenthe idea of Dame and CJ mentoring him offensively.

    all I said was it would be different next season...not better...and I should add that playing Meyers early he'd have a tiny window before the mid season trade dealine to build some trade value...Papa G is out there to use his fouls when Nurk or Zach are in foul trouble

    I bet everyone will come around on him eventually.
