This. I couldn't have been only one that jumped for joy when I heard "Kristaps Porzingis"


I wish I could say I had that kind of foresight. I wasn't upset or booing, it was just a project pick and our team hasn't had much luck with those. But again, it's a new era.

That was an interesting way for Simmons' Dad to answer the question regarding when they knew Ben would be an NBA player...
