Ben Simmons is the LSU freshman phenom everyone has been buzzing about this season. He's put up Shaq-like numbers in his first few games of the season and with his incredible outing against UNF on Wednesday night he has one more Shaq feat to add to his book of impressive moments.
Ben Simmons - 1st LSU player with 43 points in a game since Shaquille O'Neal in 1991 - Only freshman last 20 yrs w/ 40 Pts, 10 Reb, 5 Ast

His full stat line:
43 points, three blocks, five steals, seven assists, and 14 rebounds. He did it on 15-of-20 shooting and made 13-of-15 from the charity stripe. That's impressive and efficient. If he somehow isn't a top three pick, then the NBA is doing something wrong. End of story.
