94WIP Hosts Split Over Ben Simmons Vs. Brandon Ingram
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It's the number one debate in Philadelphia sports: Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram?
The 6-10, 240-pound athletic specimen who can handle and pass like a point-guard, but shoot like a center. Or the 6-9 long, awkward, reserved smooth-stroking wing player?
From listening to reports, scouts, Brett Brown, Phil Martelli, and myself for that matter, Simmons is the front-runner.
But when I asked 10 SportsRadio 94WIP hosts who they would take, they were split right down the middle.
Angelo Cataldi (@AngeloCataldi) - Ingram
Ingram because I don't want Simmons. I don't want him.
Al Morganti (@nufced) - Simmons
Simmons is going to be a star, Australians rarely disappoint you.
Rhea Hughes (@RheaHughes) - Ingram
Leaning a bit towards Ingram. I think he's more of a complete player. Simmons is talented, but I'm not sure you can build a team around him.
Michael Barkann (@MBarkannCSN) - Simmons
Ingram is a stick figure.
Ike Reese (@Ike58Reese) - Ingram
There are no red flags with Ingram. He's the safe pick.
Josh Innes (@JoshInnesRadio) - Ingram
I think Simmons is a super talented guy, who does not have the work ethic.
Hollis Thomas (@DaRealTank78) - Simmons
Simmons because of the talent. Hopefully, he matures.
Marc Farzetta (@MarcFarzetta) - Ingram
Simmons has way too many Bradford qualities. He's like a mix between Sam Bradford and Evan Turner.
Brian Haddad (@BrianJHaddad) - Simmons
Simmons. A unique talent who has power forward strength with point guard vision. And, if he fails, everyone will rip me, which should be pretty entertaining.
Big Daddy Graham (@BigDaddyGraham) - Simmons
Simmons. He could be a star forever. He could wind up hated. That's Philly.
