Sixers Favoring Simmons Over Ingram with No. 1 Pick

Bryan Colangelo might be locking in on Ben Simmons with the first overall pick.

When the Philadelphia 76ers were awarded with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, themes surmised regarding both Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram's possible status with the Sixers. With Simmons, it was a matter of sorting out through the clutter of a crowded frontcourt and how he'd fit on a roster devoid of perimeter weapons. For Ingram, he'd be a dynamic and welcomed fit at the 3 but doesn't possess the upside of the Australian forward.

According to PhillyMag and Liberty Ballers' own Derek Bodner, the Sixers reportedly hold the Australian point-foward in a higher regard.
