He's a stud but let's wait and see what he does against the elites.
Like...his team just scored 119 points. That's literally never going to happen again. They may not get within 30 of that again.
Could Beas pass or dribble like Simmons? Defend like Simmons?

Given his athleticism and natural ability, a godly midrange game isn't really necessary. It would be nice if he improves a bit though. But isn't he shooting nearly 80% from the free throw line? Pretty good indicator of his shooting ability and potential.
Does he not have a decent post game already? Every time I see him he is overpowering defenders in the post. Doesn't have to be too pretty when you're 6'9.

Beasley was superstar talented just lacked work ethic. Getting drafted to Miami was part of the problem

I think it is necesary. He does incredible damage exclusively inside the paint, but he needs to learn how to change pace when he's making moves in the paint...he needs counter moves, ways to deal with being shaded to help defense, etc.
He definitely needs to develop an elite 10-15 foot range game if he wants to be a top 10 NBA player. He's not a center, so he needs to extend his repertoire a couple feet or his team will suffer.
10 feet and in is just not enough of a range for someone who should have the ball in his hands so much.

His game is too flashy for Boston, although his emotionless face could make him less appealing.
Boston usually has gritty players as their franchise centerpiece.

Harden + Simmons would be even worse than Harden + Lawson.
Their games aren't compatible.

Re: Ben Simmons.
Maybe my favorite part of his game is how efficient he can be. Had a bad game against Charleston and I know this isn't how stats work, but remove that 7 turnover game and he only has 8 turnovers in his other 6 games. Which is incredible for a guy with his usage and position. Watch him play and he's not really a point forward. The guy is legitimately playing PG most of the game. Like an actual floor general and not some wing who so happens to be a talented passer.
Next coming of Magic.

Re: Ben Simmons.
If lakers has 1st or 2nd worst record, what are their odds of losing the pick? also if they get 1 or 2... skal isn't a bad consolation. Jaylen Brown is eh. Josh Jackson looks sick in 2017 however. Maybe better than Ben Simmons. Lakers pick is also top 3 protected in 2017 if we get a pick in 2016, but we prob won't be that bad 2 years in a row to get a top 3 pick back to back years? If we do then I guess we have a good chance of either getting a top 3 pick at least within the next 2 years if we lose our pick this year we probably can get Josh Jackson or whoever 2017. I just don't want Philly to get a lottery pick from us from all their tanking these past few years.

35% chance of losing pick if they have the worst record. Might be mid 40s-50% or so if they have second worst.
