If I said in the year 2015 that Skal Labissiere would not be a productive NBA player two seasons into his career, most would say I was crazy and did not understand basketball. And for good reason too.
Heading into the 2016 college basketball season, the “who goes #1 overall?” question revolved around two players: Skal Labissiere and Ben Simmons.
Now, as we head into the 2018-19 regular season, Ben Simmons is in the NBA MVP conversation, per Bovada. In the case of Labissiere? There are still questions about whether he will even see time on the floor this season, let alone be winning any awards.
