1. Philadephia Sixers
Original Pick: Ben Simmons
Redraft Pick: Ben Simmons
Yeah, this one is an absolute no-brainer.
Ben Simmons is a 6-foot-10 point guard with great vision and a high motor. He is averaging nearly a triple-double on a playoff team and couldn’t sniff the all-star game even after THREE eastern players got hurt.
I know that the NBA is pretty averse to letting rookies play in the game, but he would have had a better showing than Dragic did.
The Sixers made the right choice here even if they didn’t get to see him play for his first season. He was well worth the wait.
