The hype surrounding LSU this preseason is immense, thanks in large part to the addition of freshman forward Ben Simmons, who many believe is the best newcomer in the country.

The 6-foot-10 native of Australia got a chance to meet with former LSU legend Shaquille O’Neal on Friday night, as Shaq is in town this weekend for the big Auburn/LSU football game.

While there isn’t much to gain from a simple photo of two really good basketball players in a college locker room, Simmons does look pretty tall standing next to the 7-foot-2 O’Neal, especially considering Simmons is in socks and Shaq has shoes on.

Also, props to Simmons for the “CANNN YOU DIGGG IT!!!!” caption.
