The exodus of LeBron James from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference has left a huge vacuum of power in the East. Not only will teams be fighting for a place as the top spot in the East, but there is a spot for best player in the East to be filled as well. While there are several worthy candidates, Philadelphia 76ers budding superstar Ben Simmons will seize James’ crown as “King” in the East.
Clearly, Simmons will need to show that he can hit a 3-point shot on a regular basis before claiming the crown.
