#5 Ben Simmons
The 2018 Rookie of the Year had such an incredible season that people will view him as possibly a top 20 player in the league already. He is 6'11 and plays the point guard position amazingly. He has great court vision and is able to use his size and speed to cut to the basket. His style of play resembles LeBron James, but Simmons' shooting woes are much more of a concern than LeBron's ever was.
His inability to shoot effectively did not prevent him from scoring 15.8 points per game along with 8 assists and 8 rebounds. Simmons is part of the 76ers future and will look to be a multi-time all-star and potentially a top 10 player in the league, maybe even top 5. For now, he ranks as the fifth best player in the Eastern Conference.
