Ben Simmons and LSU play LIVE on Foxtel's ESPN 2 Channel again on Wednesday at 1pm AEST and a replay at 8pm AEST.
Can't wait. Go BEN !!
Foxtel is awesome for basketball fans.
All NBL games live, plenty of NBA games, College games and Euroleague!

wait til the college games get in full swing - several tournaments the next week or two - Maui, Peurto Rico, Anaheim etc etc and then there is the 24hr straight weekend

Very impressive performance. Has great court sense/vision to ensure the ball gets to his team mates who are open. Showed his flexibility with the put back. When interviewed his accent appears to be Aussie/USA twang. Interesting that he was being touted as a No 1 draft pick, but not sure what year draft they were talking about.

Well we can learn something from history.
2 Live Crew were as nasty as they want to be, but in the end they didn't actually turn out to be all that nasty, so let's not get too carried way with our expectations of Ben.

Where in Adelaide do you think you could catch it if you don't have Fox?

Luuuc, I would agree, however one should also consider not many rookies in College have had the preparation, exposure and experience he has had either.

Yeah for sure. And playing weak teams like these first 2 teams doesn't test him at all either. But there's still a lot to like.
One thing I'm not looking forward to is a whole season of lazy aussie rules football references, like the one earlier about how that might have helped with his ballerina-like spin move. WTF. LOL...

The College basketball NCAA commentators are usually quite knowledgeable and love latching onto a story, let's face it Ben has quite a story for them to get all mushy over.
How does it go, oh yes, let's not let the facts get in the way of a good story now shall we...

If anyone remembers watching Dave Simmons play here back in the day, what was his demeanour on court? Ice-cool like Ben or more emotive?

Scary thought, if Pelicans keep losing and end up with no. 1 pick.
Davis and Simmons.
