Jay Bilas was on Mike and Mike Monday Morning ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas said that Ben Simmons probably made his path a lot harder to the NBA by playing at LSU and not Kentucky.
“It’s fair to ask of Ben Simmons, why doesn’t he win more? Why wasn’t he able to take his team to the NCAA Tournament? I don’t put all the blame on him, all the responsibility on him [but] I think some of what this is doing is really signaling to the next Ben Simmons-type talent, you know, go to Kentucky. Because then you don’t have to listen to people questioning your character and whether you’re a winner. They’re just going to talk about your talent and how good you are because winning isn’t going to be the issue.”
He would surely would have known how to do a postgame interview without trashing the SEC PLayer of the Year.
