3. Ben Simmons, Philadelphia 76ers
Though Ben Simmons is only a career 16.4 point-per-game scorer, I believe that he will average 20 points per contest in 2021, because he presents a physical force on the court that is reminiscent of the Los AngelesLakers forward and four-time NBA Finals MVP, LeBron James.
Many contend that his lack of a jump shot is the reason why he has not surpass 20 points per game as of yet. However, I believe that because of his shot-creating abilities, ability to create for others and bully his way into the paint with his size.
Simmons will average over 20 points per game and lead the Philadelphia 76ers to another playoff appearance in 2021.
