I know that he should be playing with a better surrounding cast but I'm just not sure that will be the case when he gets to the NBA with some of these teams.
I know Ingram doesn't weight that much but you would have to think he fits the 76ers or Lakers better than Simmons but neither team has the balls to pass up on Simmons. I'm not sure Simmons can play the 3 in the NBA with the way teams played him defensively late in the SEC season.

Not that good, but last page you were saying he'd absolutely make a 50-win team in the Celtics better! Oh well, I guess someone with a bigger name than me said it so it's easier to accept now.
Mock drafts like DraftExpress are more focused on accurately predicting who teams will pick than editorializing as to who they think the best players are (or at least it takes some reading between the lines to get that out of them), so the fact that Ingram is being placed ahead of Simmons suggests that a growing number of front office office personnel across the league would in fact be comfortable making that call.
