Ben Simmons, F

Philadelphia 76ers 

Age: 21

“Trust the Process” they say. Well, I think the process has finally come to an end.

The Philadelphia 76ers are set up to win not only for this year, but for many more years to come. They are surrounded by multiple vetrans including sharpshooter JJ Reddick, yet alsos urrounded by a young and talented core 3.

That Core 4 consists of Joel Embiid, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric, and most importantly, Ben Simmons. Out of the bunch, the one with the most ceiling and most potential is LSU standout, Ben Simmons.

Ben Simmons is a 6-foot-10, 240lb, forward who can run the floor like any point guard in the league. His vision has been compared to Hall of Fame point guards, and his offense in the paint has been compared to monstrous centers. Like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ben Simmons seems positionless. Afterall, he has been compared to arguably the best basketball player of all time, LeBron James.

This upcoming season is Ben’s rookie year. If Ben can make an immediate impact and lead the 76ers to a winning record,and or even a playoff spot, expect him to move up on this list next year.
