I hope Bryan's reverence for educational effort and accomplishment leads to some hard questions for the Simmons child.
I think this is a valid point that needs to be addressed as well as LSU declining the NIT.
Bryan gets a pass for skipping out for his kid as long as the Sixers sent someone.
LSU coach was on the radio the other day and said they declined the NIT because the team wasn't healthy enough (Mentioned Hornsby and Blakeney) and he didn't think it would be fair to drag them in so beat up.

Johnny Jones is on the Simmons' payroll. His role was to protect Ben from scrutiny and ensure that he become the number one pick.

It was actually High School. At pretty big accomplishment that any legitimate father would want to see.
"Managing owner Josh Harris, coach Brett Brown and vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley were among the Sixers contingent on hand. President of basketball operation Bryan Colangelo attended his son’s high school graduation in Toronto."

Your foolish to think this workout held by agents has any legit weight on the actual decision on drafting either player.
They were in a gym, shooting jumpers against nobody. No competitive stuff, nothing but a showcase of skills in a controlled environment against nobody.
BC was there when Ingram was interviewed in Chicago and I'm sure he will be there when Ingram comes to Philly prior to the draft and works out. Cant believe people seriously are trying to hold this against the guy.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

But hey, I'm not going to complain about it.

I don't consider graduating from high school to be a significant accomplishment unless the kid is giving a speech at commencement.
