#7 Ben Simmons
NBA 2K19 Rating - 87
After suffering from a broken right foot injury, many pundits doubted the strength, fitness and the scoring prowess of Ben Simmons after a full season on the sidelines. But Simmons came back strong and replied to all the criticism with some great performances in the first half of the season. He went on to become the only player in NBA history to begin a season with at least 170 points, 100 rebounds and 80 assists in his team's first 10 games. Although Simmons shot the ball poorly, his court awareness and passing ability for a big man was nothing we had ever seen before.
Simmons ended the season with 15.8 points, 8.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds shooting 54.5 percent from the field. Simmons improved his game in the playoffs as he averaged 16.3 points, 9.4 rebounds 7.7 assists, but the Philadelphia 76ers were outclassed in the second round by the Boston Celtics. At the season's end, Simmons was named the NBA Rookie of the Year and earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors.
Ben Simmons is without a doubt a superstar in the making. With the kind of season that Simmon’s had last year, he deserves to be in the top 10 current small forwards list. He sits at the 7th place with an NBA 2K19 rating of 87.
