ha! well played....maybe, just maybe, those downing jones dont watch as many LSU games as i do. i have stated last year the job didnt get done. first two years im not gonna get on him for. not all coaches are made like calipari when dealing with young teams(2nd yr.).
I'm talking about hype during the season after the losses pile up. Once we started losing the media turned on us and said one and done can't work without an Anthony Davis on the roster. The ESPN/Ben Simmons love affair has been a whole other level.
Ben Simmons is going to cost some folks their jobs. That kid does not have the killer instinct to become the player he's being hyped as. He completely flopped in the matchup with Buddy Heild. His best talent is his passing but no NBA team is going to make him their point guard. Brandon Ingram will be the better player at the next level. That kid is a 6'9 guard with crazy length and shoots 40% from three. Ben's numbers are inflated a bit IMO because he's asked to do EVERYTHING for LSU.
kid is only 19..just because he isnt demonstrative doesnt mean he lacks killer instinct. showed a glimpse when carrera tried messing with him...its there. everyone likesingram, kid is a baller. in regard to inflated numbers, why wouldnt you ask simmons to do as much as possible? he is the best player on the team. i can undestand scoring being inflated due to shot attempts(not the case here)... rebounding and assist? how are those inflated?
LSU's coach is not among the elite, but he's not exactly chump change. I would have made a few decisions here and there that were different from what he ended up calling, but that doesn't make him him the deranged idiot some on here are making him out to be.
LSU is a very young team that also has a couple of veterans who are decent. Sound familiar? LSU's performance this year says way less about LSU and much more about what a remarkable job Calipari has done almost every year he has been at Kentucky in getting his young guys to play together. Just because Jones isn't as adept as Calipari in pulling it off does not make him a poor coach. By comparison to Cal, most every coach in America is a poor coach. LSU is proof that it is hard to do what Cal makes look easy every year.
