Ben Simmons has had plentiful attention during this years summer league games. He already has fellow rookies comparing him to some of the NBA's greatest, but that probably comes with being drafted first overall.

For Simmons, he is taking advantage of his time in the league to shine for the Philadelphia 76ers organization. He looks like the beacon of hope the team has been searching for since their Allen Iverson days.

Most recently, he was seen starting off the 76ers – Heat with a tremendous behind the back pass which put the wheels in motion for a slam dunk assist play.

It looks as if it's almost too natural for Simmons to execute such useful plays. His ability to get the ball to his teammates in this fashion will prove to be a great asset heading into the regular season next autumn.
