The Philadelphia 76ers have informed the camp of Ben Simmons that they will select the forward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft on Thursday, league sources informed cleveland.com.
Paul, of Cleveland-based Klutch Sports, represents Simmons.
Simmons, 19, departed LSU following his freshman campaign, when he averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4,8 assists. The 6-foot-10 forward is considered by many as a franchise player whose game best resembles LeBron James'.
Simmons has been the consensus No. 1 pick in this draft for the last three years. James, who mentors Simmons, said he has the potential to be a special player in the league.
Paul helped orchestrate a return like no other when he delivered James back to the city of Cleveland, only to watch it pay off with a championship two years later. And now he'll have two potential lottery picks on Thursday with Dejounte Murray of Washington pegged to be a possible top-14 selection. ------------------- I wanna go to where the martyrs went the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...
