A new college basketball season arises Friday and LSU enters the new campaign with its hopes as high as any time in the last 10 years.
A big reason behind that optimism is freshman Benny Simmons, who has been prominent on every pre-season All-American team that has been published.
So assuming the 6-foot-10 Simmons is as good as advertised, who do the Tigers need to be his most effective wingman in the early stages of the season. Keep in mind that two likely starters are out for much of the pre-SEC slate: Senior guard Keith Hornsby and sophomore forward Craig Victor.
