SI Simons comparison (Lecque)

[Reep]

To use the 2018 class as an analog, consider Anfernee Simons, who made the same jump directly to the NBA after taking a prep year at IMG Academy, and was drafted 24th overall by Portland. It’s important to note that Simons was a more naturally gifted shot creator than Lecque and arguably a more intriguing prospect at the same stage, but it’s feasible to think Lecque could sell a team (perhaps one with multiple draft picks) on his value somewhere in the 20s, and spend time in the G League taking his lumps. According to his draft slot, Simons’ contract pays him just under $4 million over his first two guaranteed seasons and includes two team option years before he hits restricted free agency.

Had he gone to Louisville Anfernee would've been a lotto pick. IIRC, he was rated as the top SG prospect of his class.

Well it depends how he played at louisville, couldve went and hurt his draft stock.

The article seems to say that Lack isn't as good as #24 Simon. If Lack is just a future 2nd-round pick, he should go to college and stay there all 4 years.

FWIW....

Prior to making his decision to remain in the draft official, ESPN Insider had Anfernee at #7 in their 2019 mock.

Not being a jerk about this, but it's "could've gone" not could've went. Sorry, it's a huge pet peeve of mine people using the wrong tense/word in sentences.

Went is the past tense of go, not gone. I.e., My sister and I went to the Museum not My sister and I gone to the Museum.

We could have gone to Disneyland but it was closed, not we could have went to Disneyland but it was closed.
