The current No. 1 recruit in the 2015 high school class and another potential top-five pick in 2016 is also in Portland in Ben Simmons. He arrived on Tuesday following his most valuable player performance in the high school national championships, and was measured at 6-foot-10 with a 6-11 wingspan and an 8-7 standing reach. Those aren't great numbers, but they aren't necessarily a backbreaker either for a point-forward type like Simmons. He probably won't be able to defend power forwards regularly, but his future seems to lie on the wing anyway. He's working with the perimeter players here, and even got to see some time as a point guard on Tuesday. For me, he was probably the second-best player on the floor behind Labissiere, which isn't a surprise given his general standing as a prospect.
