Philadelphia 76ers: Can Ben Simmons average a triple-double next season?

Only two players in the 72-year history of the NBA have ever averaged a triple-double. Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson, who miraculously pulled it off in his second NBA season at 23 years old, playing for the Cincinnati Royals. His numbers? 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 11.5 assists. The other, Russell Westbrook, who has done it twice — once last season, and notoriously in his 2016-17 MVP season.

Ben Simmons won the Rookie of the Year award last season and captured plenty of attention in his freshman campaign. His end of the season averages finished at 15.
