Man, I wish that Simmons was playing in this tourney....it's a damn shame to not see the top prospect playing in March....
Nice to see him get back on track. He's a good kid with massive potential. Just knocked down a pretty backbreaking three.
Ingram showing the clutch gene. I'm definitely getting more and more excited about possibly getting Ingram if we keep our pick. I can see him being an elite defender as well.
I would be perfectly happy with Ingram as our pick. He's like the perfect prototypical player for this new age of basketball. If he doesn't go to us I hope some way somehow he goes to the Bucks, because well..... Length.
Great showing from Ingram once again. I don't think that Duke's team overall outside of Ingram is even that good...which makes me think that Ingram might actually be better than Simmons and a better leader for actually getting his team to this point. Does anybody else agree with me on this? Or is Ingram's team significantly better than Simmons team?
Neither's team is that good. The problem with Simmons is for whatever reason he doesn't wanna impose his will on the game. He has so much talent, but he doesn't seem to want the ball to score. Ingram clearly showed that tonight. He wanted the ball, he had some big shots, really saved their season with his defense in the second half.
Yeah see that's where I gotta say that I may want Ingram more than Simmons. But then again....I wouldn't be upset with Simmons, as he did play with Russell before and I think Russell knows how good Simmons can be....I think we'll be in very good shape if we land the 2nd pick. Now if we get the third pick...I think you gotta trade the pick.
If we have a choice, I want Ingram. We need to go after anything between a good to a star SF this offseason, and if we get any of the ones we want, Ingram can learn being a backup. If we don't, well, we've got Ingram to throw out there with the young guys for all of them to continue to learn on the job. If Ingram goes 1 and we are 2 though, I seriously weigh my options in trading the pick or taking Simmons, seriously look into what can give us more value. Simmons doesn't fit right in, he's sort of like Randle, and another guy that needs the ball. But as usual I have to say, we still need to actually get the ball. It's up to the bounce of some ping pong balls now, because it's highly likely we finish with the 2nd worst record in the league.
