i think ben simmons is best in the draft playing positions 1-5. versatility gives you an efrj. -- edge. and i think brandon ingram is a good player, but i think you have to maximize and take him. and i know he has this l.a. thing going and his heart may not be in place in philadelphia. once he gets the paycheck and starts playing with the young guys and sees the potential of the team and where they are going, i think he will be sold on phillie. -- philly. >> the sixers have big guys. unless you tell me that simmonds is the next lebron james, how do you not go ingram? >> you can't draft -- >> you are saying they are not equal? >> i think -- no, i don't think they are close. i think simmonds is clearly the better player and the sense among the nba scouts that he is also the bigger player. why would you take a position of need and bypass the better player? line up all the good players you can and then decide what to do with them down the road. >> the sixers coach, brown, claims they are still undecided who they are going to take number one overall. >
