Ben Simmons emerged as the most desired player from the current sophomore class to build a team around, according to a survey taken among 18 NBA executives and coaches.

The survey asked voters to rank Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, and De'Aaron Fox based on who they'd want for the long-term. Mitchell, Tatum, and Fox rounded out the list, in that order.

Simmons' lack of shooting ability continued to divide votes, as he received half of the first-place votes and 6 third-place votes.

Mitchell received the most even distribution between first and second place votes.
