NBA Triple-Double Leaders: 3 active players who can surpass Oscar Robertson in the long run

2) Ben Simmons

New Orleans Pelicans v Philadelphia 76ers

A triple-double is for the most versatile players, a statistic that combines totally different traits for the modern NBA player.

In this world where seven footers are expected to make jumpers and perimeter defenders are good in the paint, the triple-double is usually for players most dominant on the court.

Ben Simmons is a good player in that his size and athleticism allow him to take up and fulfill different roles on the court. He's big and strong, can drive into the paint, pass the rock and create off the dribble. He's a truly versatile player except for that big glaring three-point shot deficiency in his arsenal of attacks.

Feeding Joel Embiid and Butler is certainly easy, but the man has tremendous potential for serving up high scoring numbers.

He's the futuristic promising pick in this list - he's good at everything that the statistic counts.
