I think it's insane that Simmons is being so highly touted when he couldn't even get his team into march madness. Huge red flag. Plus, he can't shoot. I like Ingram, but to me he really has that feel of a player who gets overrated in college. A lot of his success this year came from his unique body type, and it isn't the kind of body that will translate quite as well at the next level. And he doesn't have quite enough natural skill to overcome that and become, say a perennial all-star. His ceiling is a one or two time All-Star. And at the moment, that's looking like JV's basement.

Bismack had a great game. One of the best performances of the playoffs.
but as well as he played we needed every rebound and we had demar and lowry taking and fortunately hitting long 2s to win because he doesn't provide any threat on offense.
You won't get the high-flying blocks from JV but his overall rim protection has been just as good or better than Biyombo's in the playoffs, plus he scores and hits FTs. And, he's a better prospect than anyone in this draft, i think.
I'm still trying to imagine a way we can keep both Bis and JV on the team and find minutes for both. But it relies on having a way to effectively use them together for ~8-10 mins per game, which currently isn't possible.

Biyombo is a great back-up center. But keep in mind, we asked nothing from him on offense, and he grabbed 8 offensive rebounds, but didn't do anything else on that end.
JV can do that, in fact he was having a historic playoffs for rebounding, and he can also score.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Seems like people don't understand how hard it is to get a 7 foot tall stud on both ends who can dominate inside.
There just aren't that many guys with that skillset.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

trading jv is a really really really dumb plan.
better be someone on one of the All-NBA teams coming back or im not interested.
These playoffs have shown he should have just as big a role as Demar and Lowry, his consistency is amazing.
to glf above me, high ankle sprains are actually a really bad injury ill be surprised if JV plays again these playoffs, maybe bring him on as a victory cigar when we're about to sweep okc

A franchise-type #1 overall pick should have zero major flaws in his game. Simmons has two: shooting, and leadership/winning."Stop eating your sushi."
