Philadelphia 76ers' coach Brett Brown has delivered a stern reminder to anyone who doesn't believe Ben Simmons should win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
"He is the stone cold Rookie of the Year," Brown told reporters after his Australian star led the 76ers to a 120-108 demolition of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
"He has triple doubles in historic proportions.
"He just passed Earvin "Magic" Johnson and is behind Oscar Robertson.
"He had another one tonight."
Simmons achieved his 10th triple-double of the season with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists against a Timberwolves squad sitting in the seventh playoff slot in the Western Conference.
