Aussie college star in draft

AUSTRALIAN college basketball star Ben Simmons will enter this year’s NBA draft and is expected to be the No. 1 pick, ESPN reported on Monday.

Simmons, 19, had a sparkling season for Louisiana State University where his play earned lofty comparisons to Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson. “I’m making it official,” Simmons was quoted by ESPN as saying when asked about his plans to enter the June 23 draft. Simmons averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game this season for LSU, which finished 19-14 overall and failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
