#3 Ben Simmons
The Australian rookie is putting up a monster stat line in his very first playoff appearance, the likes of which even LeBron James was not able to in his first go-around during the playoffs. Simmons stat line after 3 playoff games reads as follows: 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 2 steals per game.
While the Philadelphia 76ers dropped a game at home to the Miami Heat this week, they wrestled home-court advantage back in Game 3. Simmons was a big part of the 128-108 win, putting up a stat line of 19 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals in 40 minutes while making 7 out of his 8 free throw attempts.
There were a couple of possessions when the Sixers were without a true center, and it was Simmons guarding the paint area.
The birth of unicorns in the NBA is for real, people!
Guess the Lakers players!
