Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Myles Turner, G/F Buddy Hield 
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G/F Ben Simmons 

Of course, Ben Simmons was a significant investment from the moment he stepped onto an NBA court. After all, the Philadelphia 76ers selected him with the first overall pick in the 2016 draft. Whether he’s lived up to that selection is a matter of debate. 

It isn’t hard to see how he earned it. Simmons has a unique and impressive skill set. He’s one of the very best defensive players in the NBA, capable of guarding 1 through 5 on any given night.

Moreover, he’s got some of the best floor vision in the NBA as well. If a teammate is open, count on Simmons to find them. 

On the other hand, his aforementioned shooting struggles have plagued him throughout his NBA career. As a lead ball-handler, it’s one thing to be a poor shooter, but Simmons is a non-shooter. Defenders know they can pack the paint, and dare Simmons to shoot, and he won’t accept the dare.
