Ben Simmons - Nets vs Bulls - November 2023


Born on July 20, 1996, Benjamin David Simmons is an Australian professional basketball player who plays for the Brooklyn Nets as a point forward. Standing at 6’10 with an athletic build and the agility of a guard, Ben Simmons is the league’s best perimeter defender. His playmaking is also unmatched and he was compared to LeBron James coming into the league.


He was drafted in 2016 by the Philadelphia 76ers and has become an All-NBA level defender and player. The only criticism one could give Ben is his lack of a jump shot and intensity on the offensive end. Although he struggles to score on the court, he definitely scores off of it.
