Why he might be annoying:

    He continued the trend of attending college for one year before electing to go to the NBA Draft.
    Some basketball pundits went as far as saying he was going to the NBA's graveyard upon finding out the Sixers were planning to select him first overall.
    He dropped out of Louisiana State University after one year.
    He chose to attend LSU, as a result of his godfather being an assistant coach on the basketball team.
    He sparked a minor controversy in Australia, when he chose to snub playing on the national team in the Rio Olympics.

    He is the son of Australian basketball legend Dave Simmons.
    He was the first player since Allen Iverson to be selected first overall by the Sixers.
    He won the USBWA National Freshman of the Year award, during his lone season at LSU (2016).
