If you've watched ESPN at all in the last 3 months, you've probably seen them talk about LSU's freshman forward Ben Simmons, who many believe will be the first pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. He is currently leading the Tigers in points (19.6 ppg), assists (5.8 apg), blocks (1.4 bpg), steals (2.3 spg), and rebounds (13.1 rpg). One of the reasons Simmons is such a great player and NBA prospect is due to his ability to handle the ball and run the court like a guard, while also being 6'10. Simmons is fully capable of grabbing a rebound and taking it coast to coast to the other end and scoring all on his own.
