No. 2 Ben Simmons 2016
It was obvious that 1 and 2 were going to be a combination of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. With Simmons slotted at 2, one now knows that Embiid will be 1. Simmons in three years has won a Rookie of the Year award, been selected to two All-Star games, and he has amassed 28 career triple-doubles. He is one of the best defenders in the game while being one of the more impressive all-around players in the league as well. His talent and impact is undeniable.
