After failing to make the NCAA tournament field, LSU head coach Johnny Jones has announced that his team will not play in any postseason tournament.
Ben Simmons will likely be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, but he won't be eligible to win the John R. Wooden Award.
While it's way too early to deem LSU's Ben Simmons the next LeBron James, he's certainly making the case for his NBA potential in college this season. On Saturday, Simmons dropped this epic reverse slam dunk all over the Oklahoma Sooners and nearly led the Tigers to a win over the No. 1 ranked team in America.
Pro comparisons are getting Ben Simmons a lot of attention, but they are not the only reason why he is looking like the draft’s consensus No. 1 pick.
