NBA Draft Rumors: 76ers Change Stance On Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram ‘Every Day’

The NBA Draft is just one week away, and it appears as though the Philadelphia 76ers aren’t sure what they are going to do with the first overall pick. Most believe that they will select LSU’s Ben Simmons, with Duke’s Brandon Ingram as a distant second option.

However, Simmons has refused to work out for the 76ers, or anyone else, for that matter. Ingram, on the other hand, worked out with Philadelphia earlier this week, leading some to speculate that the 76ers may end up drafting him. Simmons’ refusal to work out has also fueled rumors that he is hoping to fall to the second pick so he can play in Los Angeles for the Lakers.
