Ben Simmons Would '100 Percent' Vote For Himself For Rookie Of The Year

Ben Simmons would unequivocally pick himself for Rookie of the Year despite the strong season from Donovan Mitchell.

"Who would I pick? Me, 100 percent," Simmons said.

"I think I have been playing solid all year," he continued. "If you look at the numbers, you will see. People who know the game know."

Simmons sat out the entire 16-17 season with a foot injury.

Simmons was asked which other rookies have caught his attention this season.

"None," Simmons responded promptly. "I want to be where the greats are. So, for me, I watch the guys like [Kevin Durant], [LeBron James], [Stephen] Curry, Russell [Westbrook]. Guys like that. That's where I want to be. I think for me, that's what I love to watch."
