#2016 Ben Simmons
This 6'10 guard plus forward was the first pick of 2016 NBA draft and was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as well. He didn't play in his first season due to a foot injury and is playing his rookie year this season. He is the one player to watch out for this season. He is averaging 17.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game so far this season. He has the main role in the Sixers line up running the offense as well as playing a forward role.
He is one of the stronger contenders for this season's Rookie of the Year as he is playing his first season. People waited a whole season to see Simmons play and the wait was worth it. He has been praised by the greats like LeBron James. It will be interesting to see where he can take the Sixers in the competition.
