2. Ben Simmons, LSU
Freshman | 6’10”, 239 pounds | forward

An Australian native, Simmons came to the U.S. in 2013 to play for Montverde (Fla.) prep, which regularly churns out college and NBA prospects. His godfather, David Patrick, is an assistant at LSU and helped to secure his commitment. Simmons has experience playing all five positions and has the ballhandling to prove it. At 6’10” and 225 (and counting) pounds, he’ll be a matchup problem for almost every opponent in the SEC.
