WHat do you guys know about Cedric Simmons??

[Wurider05]

I checked his stats and he appeared to be pretty solid in the defense and rebounding category. Has anyone here seen him play as I don't really follow the college game too much. If so what are you impressions of him.

Very underrated. He destroyed Shelden Williams in their matchup. Big time athlete. IMO, I rather have Simmons at the 5 spot than Williams. When you have a top 5 pick, you want to pick up a potential star not a solid role player.

I think Simmons is a definite BK type player in that he's long and versatile (meaning he can play the 4 or the 5). They compare him to Theo. He did have a big game against Duke in Jan. Scored 20+ point, 9 rebonds, and 7 blocks. I forgot exactly how many points but the blocks stick out.

I still don't think he's as good as Williams though. I think his first year will be spent in Foul trouble. How he responds to that will make or break him as a player. I would like him if we can get Williams though. I think that he's raw but has good potential and unlike somebody else we drafted, he actually stepped up and proved himself against good competiton.
