Just saw an article on the ABC that Simmons has won the award for best US high school player. Big props to him and congratulations.

Great work, if he plays well in college next season he is looking like a guaranteed top 3 pick next year.
Hope he doesn't go to Philli, that team is a disaster and I think it will take a long time to get their attitude fixed after all the tanking.

Ben Simmons, the 6'10 forward out of Melbourne, Australia, has been named the Morgan Wootten Player of the Year, making his the first Australian to receive the honour.
Ben Simmons wins Morgan Wootten Player of the Year award
Said it before and i'll say it again - Simmons will be the best player out of Australia
Yeah its pretty much between Steven Adams and Ben Simmons to see who will be the best player to come out of Australasia

I think the opposite. The pieces are in place. Hopefully they'll get some more in this year's draft, heaps of cap space & they have a great coach. Despite the losing, there's been some good signs on defence and offensive spacing.
I think they'll be fun to watch in the years to come.

Steven Adams won't be as good as Bogut was. I think Dante or Ben or Thon in the future

"In what way will adams not be as good as bogut?"
Just for starters, every letter in his surname is inferior to the equivalent letter in Bogut's
