Pressure's on you. #1 Overall, who you take

[KG Living Legend]

 Just don't take Greg Oden! Write in if your player is not listed.

 It's getting harder to make this call, Ingram is younger, has a great looking jump shot, he's silky smooth like the Zohan, he has a natural position and can space the floor much better, and Danny's favorite, he's longer by 3"

 Simmons I don't need to make a case for him. Case closed.

 Also I'm going to bring this back in a year or two. Buyer Beware.

Taking Simmons is a no brainer for me.  Ingram is a nice consolation prize.  No one else is a serious consideration.

Ingram.

[Quetzalcoatl]

Simmons.  Ingram won't be good for at least a couple years, but I really like him as a player overall

[chambers]

I'd take Simmons purely on potential in the NBA.
Ingram is probably the safer bet considering his length/handle/shooting ability and without Ben on board he's my pick.

 I'm glad Celtics Blog is smart here. It's a no Brainer.

 Simmons NBA ready body, unreal rebounder, defensively I would at least try to out him on Lebron, his ball handling, Passing and athleticism you can't pass on him.

what pressure?

take Simmons. easy

[nickagneta]

People need to stop looking at Ingram and seeing Kevin Durant. Ingram isn't Durant good. Never will be. Durant had a much more polished offensive game than Ingram coming out of school and was an excellent rebounder.

Simmons on the other hand has it all. The body, the brain, and the talent. Let him slowly develop a jump shot that is consistent to at least 20 ft out and Simmons could be Lebron lite. His passing, rebounding, body, athleticism and BBIQ are all off the charts high. You take Simmons and instantly start getting his shot fixed slowly but surely.

Simmons easy.

He's reached that point where analysts are trying to be provocative and edgy for views by nitpicking his game.  Doesn't mean he isn't the best prospect in this draft.

[BornReady]

No question consensus best pick
Ben Simmons

[acieEarl]

I remember the Duncan draft and he was always thought as the 1rst pick, so the only thing people could do is pick him apart, saying he didn't jump that high. Not saying Simmons is going to be as good as Duncan, but don't over think things and you take him as he's the best pick.

Simmons easy.

It's tough, while Simmons is more NBA ready I feel like Ingram can legitimately be the next KD. That being said, I'd be ecstatic of the C's got the #2 pick. Can't go wrong either way, but I'd choose Ingram.

He is not the next kd. Is not explosive like kd. Doesn't have the deadly dribble and jack the ball at any sec.   

Basically shooting over shorter college players right now. Is skilled no doubt, but I doubt will be a dominant type player in the nba

Feels like we have a little Euro-bias going on here. Bender should benefit from the Zinger's rise throughout the year, despite some hesitations pre-draft. Of course, for every Zinger (good player in a good situation) there's a Milicic (potentially good player, poor situation).

 Also I'm going to bring this back in a year or two. Buyer Beware.

Lol. Shades of JaJuan Johnson
