1. philadelphia 76ers

ben simmons | lsu | pf | 6-10 | 245

college highlights: ben simmons

take a look at these college highlights from nba prospect ben simmons.

while some teams still believe brandon ingram is the best fit for a team desperate for scoring and perimeter shooting, the consensus is that philadelphia has to, and will, go simmons. concerns about his maturity, in contrast to ingram as a focused and tireless worker , are offset by the bottom line that simmons is too unique of a talent to pass up. that would be the case whether or not the 76ers trade jahlil okafor or nerlens noel to break up what is already a crowded situation at power forward and center. teams that won 10 games generally can not be driven by position need.

2. l.a. lakers

brandon ingram | duke | sf | 6-9 | 200

college highlights: brandon ingram

take a look at these college highlights from nba prospect brandon ingram.

this is the consolation prize? ingram is an ideal fit for the lakers, more than simmons because simmons needs to run the offense to be most effective, a scenario that would reduce d'angelo russell's role. ingram is a small forward when la has a hole there and ingram is offense, with the ability to score off the dribble or from the perimeter, when la finished last in coins and shooting. he does not turn 19 until september, but carries himself well for a young player.

3. boston celtics

dragan bender | israel | pf | 7-1 | 220

college highlights: dragan bender

take a look at these college highlights from nba prospect dragan bender.

maybe bender, maybe kris dunn (no. 3 much of the season in the buynba2kmt.com pre-lottery rankings), maybe marquese chriss, maybe jaylen brown, maybe buddy hield. maybe a trade with veterans more appealing than prospects for a team looking for a long playoff run now, not a prospect. the celtics are standing in middle of a busy intersection. some teams think bender has a chance to be great and one gm said he could see the croatian eventually becoming the best player in the draft.

you must be with buynba2kmt.com, the new players for nba 2k17 mt appear very interested, if the celtics eventually won bender, the team should go further, bender is likely to become rookie of the year competition person; if you need to buy nba 2k17 mt coins, believe buynba2kmt.com will be your best choice, you can get the best possible incentives to use "nba16" enjoy a 5% discount.
