Ben Simmons playing Big V for Bulleen Boomers

I'm with Vart. Also, I am still very unclear as to why Simmons made himself unavailable for the U19's. To workout - that does not make sense IMO. Exum will hook up with the Boomers squad ahead of the Aus-NZ series, just as will be the case of some of the WUG guys as well and a number of other players not involved in either as well. Puzzled.

NBAdraft.net just gave simmons a good write up rated as No 1 prospect.. Thon maker gets a mention and is discussed on the comment board a fair bit.

Ben Simmons1) Ben Simmons, 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, SF/PF, Melbourne, Australia, Montverde Academy 2015.

Simmons took the U.S. high school basketball scene by storm, dominating the 2012 Pangos All American Camp. He moved to the United States this past year to suit up for coach Kevin Boyle at Montverde Academy in Florida and did not disappoint, helping them win the high school national championship.

He has small forward skills in a power forward's body. A smooth and skilled lefty who can do everything on the floor, Simmons has a feathery outside shooting touch and he can put the ball on the floor and get into the lane when he wants to. His passing ability for a kid his size sets him apart from his peers.

With upperclassmen such as Kasey Hill, and D'Angelo Russell, Simmons took a backseat on a senior-led Montverde team this past season, but he will be the focal point offensively, which should allow him to grow into the alpha dog role that his talent suggests. If he stays focused and continues to work hard, he has a chance to be special. NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady

If anyone does get to a game, those of us who don't live in Vic would love to see some game footage up on you tube! :-)

If he is fit he should be in the World Champs squad.. Must be some Australian policy of not picking players not based here.
