The 2016 NBA Draft feels like forever from now, but that isn’t stopping top freshman Ben Simmons from thinking about what team he’ll play for at the next level.
In Simmons’ Snapchat, you’ll hear him say the following, “bout to do work this year. You can catch me on the Lakers next year.”
The 6-foot-10 forward has drawn comparisons to LeBron James because of his size, unique skill set and elite athleticism.
While playing in the purple and gold is a dream for a lot of kids growing up, this is probably far fetched for Simmons. Los Angeles still owes their draft pick to the 76ers via the Steve Nash trade. The only way the team retains the pick is if it lands in the top three.
