NBA Basketball Player Ben Simmons cannot just improve during his sophomore year on a pro team, but has the potential to be the best player in the league. Simmons is an Australian professional basketball player, in-which he currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers of Pennsylvania.Standing at 6-foot-10, he’s a great forward. However, his inability to shoot from outside the painted area is holding him back, but just a little. But Simmons is coming back stronger than ever before.

This past summer, videos can show him making constant shots in the basket, doing deep jumpers, and practicing mid-range plays. Simmons is definitely going to be a threat on and off the court this season, especially right-off signing a five-year extension, worth $170 million. In addition to Simmons career with the 76ers, he played college basketball at Louisiana State University for one season.

He was then selected as the first pick in the NBA 2016 draft, a pick that would end him up at the 76ers. In 2018 he was named the NBA Rookie of the Year, and received an All-Star selection for the 2019 NBA Game. At just twenty-three years old, he has made the possible happen by redefining the impossible, can Simmons keep going in his career with the 76ers, time will tell.

We wish Simmons all the best in the 2019-2020 NBA League season, a season that should bring epic newcomers to the sport of basketball, and to the NBA League in-general. Final countdown to the season begins officially now.
