The Philadelphia 76ers announced their arrival to competitive status last season, winning 52 games and securing the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Ben Simmons was a big reason why, co-piloting the Sixers to new heights alongside Joel Embiid.
At 6-foot-10, Simmons is one of the most unique players in recent memory. He was a full-fledged point guard last season, controlling the ball and orchestrating the offense for a Sixers team that torched opponents with regularity after the All-Star break.
He’s among the league’s elite playmakers, rivaling LeBron James‘ flash, accuracy and timing as a passer.
