@Malta

whats your projections on simmons and ingram? they both the real deal?


Simmons is more of a sure thing than Ingram, but Ingram has the Kevin Durant allure to him and while their potential is about the same Ingram does have a much higher chance of being a bust than Simmons. The NBA is all about shooting & spacing now, which is why Ingram is getting talk for 1, if Simmons showed even a hint of a jumper he'd be the number 1 pick running away, but he can't shoot (yet) so that is why Ingram is even in the discussion.

I honestly think that Simmons to the Lakers (or Celtics) is the best situation for him cause he can play PF for them while setting up wing players, so his lack of a shot isn't as big of a deal for his first few years. The Sixers may take him but they need Ingram's potential floor spacing. I think they're both the real deal, in that either could go 1, not sure about projections cause Ingram could end up being Luol Deng which was a good player but not a franchise player while Simmons could be Odom (if he doesn't learn to shoot).
