    Not his fault. He is very young. Too much was asked of him too soon. Too much pressure. Kid has alot of potential.

    Don't tell Danny Marang that (one of the guys from the postgame shown on CSNNW) - he'll get very defensive even if you have stats to back it up.

    He ranks as the 20th best defender in the entire league by their metric.

    We should do a poll: do Olshey's comments about Simons prove he is a lousy judge of players' value - or does it prove he has no conscience about BSing the fans? To be less diplomatic, is he a fool or a liar? :dunno::stirthepot:

    Well he is a liar, as he contradicted himself several times in his last interview.

    Although a case could be made that he shouldn't have said anything about Simons or hyping him up at the end of the day he simply said that he has the most talent out of any player he's drafted, not that he's the best, nor that he will be great this year. So Olshey could still very well be right about him.

    You guys need to quit blaming Olshey for taking his words and over hyping them even more. I read comments from posters claiming all star status and now we can trade McCollum cause we have Simons and future hall of famer. Olshey never said that as that was from this forum. Posters need to take accountability for there own actions and quit blaming someone else.
