Check out the first images of Ben Simmons in a Philadelphia 76ers practice uniform. At least non-photoshopped. These pictures were taken during his workout with the team this morning. Via NBA.com:
Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reported Tuesday that Simmons will be selected No. 1 overall by the Sixers on Thursday night. Simmons originally stated he wasn’t going to work out for the team, but that might’ve changed due to Philadelphia’s intentions and promise of taking him with the top pick.
This morning Philadelphia 76ers informed camp of Ben Simmons he would be taken No. 1 in NBA Draft, league sources tell @clevelanddotcom.

There is little chance, sources say, Simmons' agent Rich Paul would have granted Philly permission to hold a workout without such a promise.

Simmons averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game during his lone season at LSU last year. Couple Simmons going No. 1 with all the trade rumors, Thursday is going to be an insane night.
