I understand the non-shooting lineup woes, but Simmons right this second is a better player than Rubio, and he's around $10M cheaper per year. He's got a chance to be one of those super-superstars that make the playoffs by himself.
I've simplified my criteria for anyone we draft: They need the potential to either be a great shooter or great defender - ideally both. If they don't meet that criteria, then he shouldn't even be considered. Someone else can have Ben Simmons if he can't (or isn't willing) to do either of these things.

I agree. My criteria for who the "BPA" is weighs defensive potential and shooting potential above nearly all else. If the person can't do either of these things well, they aren't "BPA" in my book.
Seems like an impressive prospect, plus he'll be a 4-year college guy, so theoretically he'll be more physically and mentally ready for the NBA than your typical 19 or 20 year old.
