Ben Simmons has been a hot topic in college basketball this week. On Saturday, Johnny Jones told ESPN that Simmons wasn’t eligible for the Wooden Award because of academic reason, and later that day, Simmons drew the ire of Kentucky fans for some less-than-generous comments about Tyler Ulis (even if they were taken slightly out of context).
Jay Bilas went on “Mike & Mike” this morning to discuss Simmons, and interestingly, said the LSU star’s issues this season make him a cautionary tale that shows elite recruits should just go to Kentucky, where winning will never be an issue.
