Ben Simmons says he's 100% rookie of the year: "What rookies have caught my attention? None"
"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."
Ben Simmons of the 76ers said that he is the rookie of the year.
And the Australian point guard added that he has not been impressed by any other rookie this season.
Per ESPN, 76ers rookie Ben Simmons made it clear who he believes should win the Rookie of the Year award.
"Who would I pick? Me, 100 percent," Simmons told ESPN at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Philadelphia on Saturday.
"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."
When the 6-foot-10 point guard was told the Rookie of the Year race appears to be a two-man show, he buried his head down and proceeded to chuckle. Asked what rookies have caught his attention this year, he didn't mince words.
"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."
