LSU's Ben Simmons is expected by many to be a top-3 pick in this year's draft. The 6'10" Australian can pass, rebound, handle the ball, and is reminding many of young Blake Griffin with a splash of Magic Johnson.

He's the exact type of player the Boston Celtics are waiting to build around, and with the Brooklyn Nets' pick there's a solid chance they actually get him.

Simmons is averaging nearly 20 points and 16 rebounds per game, shooting 57.7 percent from the field.
