"There's no truth to us leaning in any direction," Bryan Colangelo (Sixers GM) said in response to the report (the Sixers are leaning heavily toward Ben Simmons) There is no decision that has been made. There is no direction that any particular group is leaning."
🔸It's highly likely that the Sixers will draft Ben Simmons with their first pick, but as of now, there are no guarantees. I've heard that there are some concerns about Simmons' lack of shooting.

Anything could happen. People who are sided on Team Ingram or Team Simmons can be disappointed if they're guy doesn't get picked so emotions should be tempered. Realize we are going to come out winners regardless and you will worry less. |

I really hate the offseason and all this nonsense and speculation.
Who cares about this? We have to wait till draft day any way.... |

No way could they... no way. If Ingram or Simmons had great years and Bender is looking like a 4 year project, we're doomed.
Besides, with so many centers available, I see no reason we draft a center. |

Is that workout vid suppose to be considered impressive? Strange to me that Team Simmons would leak it.

I'm expecting them to go Ingram, but it can go either way imo. |

Of course they could. The process has barely started yet. They'll work out both guys multiple times, interview them, and make a decision. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

After Porzingis unanimous 1st rookie team that is my greatest fear. If we draft Dragon Bender I'll keep myself away from LG because I really don't want to be an (bleep) two years in a row and in this case I'll be not just disappointed like last year, I'm going to be angry about the pick.
Keep it simple, Simmons or Ingram. Whatever Philadelphia chooses there is a good chance we will end up with the best player |

To me there's no way Simmons turns out to be a bust or a wasted pick for either team. He will be a very good player period. He has a good chance to be a great player. He's the safe bet and (IMO) has the highest upside.
Ingram is a very good prospect as well, however, I don't see him as a lock to be very good or great player. To me his upside is being 2nd or 3rd best player on a team. I doubt he'll be a bust, but I feel he's much more likely to be average than Simmons.
I'll very happy to get either one (or whomever the Lakers decide to pick). If I were choosing, based on what I know currently, it would be Simmons every time regardless of fit. I mean how many players in the history of the game can you think of which his size and skill level? I can't only think of a handful.
Keep in mind there's a high possibility that the 2nd pick will turnout to be just average or a bust (based on the last 20 years), So I'm hoping we get the chance to pick Simmons, who I feel is a sure thing to be a very good player with his already amazing skill level, BB IQ, and NBA body. |

With the hype for Ingram right now it's a possiblity Simmons will drop to #2. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |
