I recall that a handful of people I knew saw how Ben Simmons was, and questioned whether he could handle adversity, because he'd been treated like a God and his fellow high school pupils made to worship him in Australia. (source, a friend was in classes with him and other AIS guys).Some people let that kind of star treatment go to their heads. Other people will fight til the last second no matter what.

So who doesn't have that dog? And as a bonus, who does?

Editing in my nomination for having the dog: Cidy Sissoko. Played hard as hell
No dog: Jett howard- but maybe it was the injury

Monaco vs Metro92 is a great opportunity to evaluate both Bilal and Wemby

French NBL Pro A is probably the 4th or 5th best domestic league in Europe. Metro beat villeurbanne which was one of the weekest Euroleague teams this year but now they face an actual European powerhouse. Monaco

Bilal has a very small sample size of good offensive games with the mens team. And we got to see all the good qualities he already possesses. He's already a great defender, cutter, passer and finisher. He's a good straight line driver. Now he will be forced to play in much tighter spaces against a good defensive team.

He scored just 1 point in their last meeting in April which was a Monaco beat down. This is a great opportunity to see where he's at as a top prospect agaist a team that had Victor struggling as well.

If he has a good series agaist them I'll buy the hype of him as a top 8-12 prospect.
