The top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and assumed savior of the Philadelphia 76ers franchise, Ben Simmons, really put on an amazing display of passing in the Sixers’ summer league game against the Utah Jazz.
You know these passes have to really be something else for us to highlight them, but trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
Just look at this, Simmons makes a baseline drive, and sneaks the pass underneath two defenders giving his teammate an easy look:

The dish here across the body of Trey Lyles on the drive is just something you don’t see. The length here is unreal:

This no-look bounce pass was simple, yet very precise and sharp. It’s hard to teach this type of stuff:

And well, this is just absurd:

This is all after he showed off the same passing skills in his debut a few days ago as well.
Simmons is young and to see how his game develops should be interesting to see. Hopefully the Sixers are able to put enough talent around him so that only goes faster.
