Long > Simmons

Man it's amazing how the NBA will make a 6'10" person look average size... Although looks like he lost some weight

Long > Simmons

LOL. Not quite

LOL. Not quite

Ben Simmons will be the next Michael Olowokandi. Soft as toilet tissue.

I'll take Shawns heart over that baby any day.

Not at the NBA level. While Simmons may or may not be the next Lebron or Magic Johnson as so many want to compare him to, he will be a solid player at the NBA level for some time. I think worst case scenario is he is a lot like Evan Turner of the Celtics. Triple double threat every night although not a prolific scorer but solid player even though Simmons has much more athleticism than Turner.

I hate saying it but I saw that game yesterday and Long looked pedestrian at best, even when being guarded by the big white guy who blocked his shot a couple of times. Long was somewhat ineffective on the blocks and I think he is definitely a stretch 4 but I'm not sure he will find a place on an NBA team for a while. He may need some time overseas first.

Didn't he have10 points 5 rebounds 1 assist in 14 minutes first time on an NBA court? I thought I read that somewhere... If I did, seems like a pretty decent debut for an undrafted guy.
