Dirty Gael

Diamon Simpson. Have you heard of him? I thought not, well he, on is #1 on a certain ESPN analysts most underrated players in the country list, is ranked as the 50th best senior in the country by Draft Express, is 2-time defending WCC Defensive Player of the Year, averaged a double double this year with 14 PPG and 11 RPG, including 2 BPG. He was in one of only two double double tandems in the country, and is a three-time all WCC player, not to mention, he is a beast, and a dark horse to enter the NBA.As his career pushed on, so did Diamon Simpson. His work ethic pushed him to become a nightmare on the boards, and a decent scoring threat. His constant i've got to be perfect 100% of the time attitude, got him to the point of being looked at by NBA scouts, and now he may be drafted very late, or signed on over the summer. Simpson, is someone you could truly call a workhorse. His questions heading toward the pro's were could he shoot well enough as a 3, and could he ball handle well enough? Heading into the summer, no, he wasn't even close, maybe not even at a college level, but I just recently saw him at an open gym, and he's got some handles, and has DEFINETELY fixed that shot! Now he's trying out for the big leagues. It may not just be a single Gael in the Pro's next season. Not if this dirty Gael keeps on working.
