#1 Ben Simmons has notched 10 triple-doubles this season and could conceivably increase this figure

Ben Simmons is one of the most unique players in the history of basketball. Standing over 6'11", he has a combination of size, strength, ball-handling and playmaking skills that perhaps no player at his height has ever displayed.

For the season, Simmons has in-game splits of 15.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks — numbers reminiscent of "Magic" Johnson's rookie season. Simmons also has 10 triple-doubles, which rank as the highest figure by a rookie for an entire season since the introduction of the 3-point line and only second all-time behind Oscar Robertson.

These numbers keep the Australian star in fine company, and given that the Philadelphia 76ers have the easiest remaining schedule, Simmons could rack up at least 2 or 3 more in the games to come.
