For the record, I don't like Ben Simmons very much, but the revisionist history around him is absurd. He was also a fricking beast at LSU. Unanimous first team All-American and averaged 19/12/5 which is one of the greatest freshman seasons in NCAA history.
And LSU didn’t make the tournament. In large part because he alienated the entire rest of the Tiger basketball team by midseason.
And Johnny Jones ..

Should give him time to work on his shot!

Eh he still was the rookie of the year and 3x All-star.
Wasn't there a story about a bad thing happening in his personal life right around the time he had that horrible playoff run with the 76ers? Something happened to his sister like a serious health problem or she was a victim of a violent crime?

He is on a Jamarcus Russell level of bust. As soon as the Oklahoma game was played, when he vanished for the final ten mins when his team needed him most, I knew he was way way overated. But to be fair, he milked this for all it’s been worth. He has life changing money that should last for a couple generations.

What a disappointment he turned out to be.
From his perspective, its a damn gravy train.

That team actually had some solid pieces around him.
It was already mentioned but if you watched the Oklahoma game there was no question about who Ben Simmons was.
He disappeared with the quietest 14/9 of all time while a far less gifted buddy hield took over the game down the stretch.

The reason we sucked that year was that Jones should have recruited a center to allow Simmons to play as a point forward. Instead Jones recruited his buddy Blakeney, a shooting guard, to a team that had tons of shooting guards. Jones proceeded to give Blakeney the starting job and throw up a ton of bricks to start the season, totally alienating half of the team.
