Week In Review 6/19/16-6/25/16

June 25th 2016 at 10:23am CST by Eddie Scarito

As expected, the Sixers opened this year’s NBA draft by taking LSU’s Ben Simmons. The 6’10” Australian native, who has been the consensus No. 1 choice since the beginning of the college season, averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists during his lone season with the Tigers. Simmons is the latest in a string of big men drafted early by the Sixers. He joins a crowded frontcourt that includes Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Joel Embiid and maybe Croatian star Dario Saric. You can view the complete list of selections here.
