That's great thanks Isaac, a close game too! I hope it is another close one this Saturday night v UTD as I am lucky enough to be going to that game...

And for those who think college ball is better than NBL, the skeleton of an NBL team missing its imports and most of its bench just beat LSU who have the hottest prospect in college basketball.

Settle down GWB, just at bit, did you see the game? Why do we have to be so critical all the time?
I am looking forward to watching a good game and absorbing the experience, of course they all want to do well and win but it is pre-season for both teams still...

Not being critical per se; I am being critical of the critical.

GWB i believe the College vs NBL debate was last years Kentucky vs an NBL team, NZ Breakers were the example used.
LSU are not even ranked top 25 at the moment, they're not NBL standard, last years Kentucky were.
Simmons is an absolute freak. Forget exum forget maker. They are calling him the next LBJ.

His handle looked very good and he was adventurous with a couple of those assists. Seemed to take it easy on D a bit, but he played a fair chunk of minutes and it was a bit of an exhibition game so that's not an issue.
For those who went to the game, how did he compare in strength/size to Brandt and Khazzouh? Brandt looks a lot more solid.
NBA Draft has his player comparison as Tracy McGrady but he looks to have a bit more potential in the paint. Can't think of a modern comparison for him. Durant? Wiggins is too fast. LeBron is not a ridiculous stretch in terms of style of game at least?
From what I've seen he's like a bigger DeMar DeRozan

The thing I'm noticing with all the footage of Ben is his obvious swag or extreme self belief, he didn't always have this as a kid but with a basketball physique blessed by the gods his ceiling is rediculous. Let's hope he's got LBJ and Durant covered and we can spend the next 15 years watching Australia conqer the world.
Agreed Melhoops.
He has that sort of superstar arrogance that Mills has (yes i know Mills isn't a superstar).
The balls to want the ball all the time and to be dominant. It's the kind of attitude Exum needs to have to become a true superstar.

Someone on Twitter suggested Odom too. Also a less questionable Josh Smith.
