7. Ben Simmons & Joel Embiid
We trust the process.
As the consensus favorite to win the East, the 76ers duo had to make the list.
Ben Simmons is a top 10 point guard, and some consider him to be a top 5 point guard already. Last season Simmons averaged 16.9 point per game on 56.3% shooting with 8.8 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. While 3pt shooting has been a serious weakness for Simmons through his first 2 seasons, he gave fans a glimmer of hope after draining a 3 during preseason that had the basketball world hilariously buzzing.
Most believe Joel Embiid is the best center in the game. Joel averaged 27.5 ppg, 13.6 rpg, & about 2 blocks per game last season. The 76ers were one unlucky bounce away from beating the Raptors in a playoff game 7 last season, this year they’ll compete for a Finals appearance.
