Ben Simmons and the LSU Tigers didn’t make it into this year’s March Madness NCAA Tournament, and denied their invitation to the National Invitational Tournament as well. This ended not only LSU’s season, but Ben Simmons’ freshman year, and what was assumed to be his only year playing college basketball.
A report that came out on Monday morning indicated that assumption, as Simmons told ESPN, “I’m making it official.”
Simmons will hire himself an agent and declare officially for the NBA Draft, which only bolsters his positioning as one of the top overall draft prospects.
