Watch: Ben Simmons displays elite passing ability vs. Lakers

Ben Simmons, the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, used Saturday's summer league game against the Los Angeles Lakers to show off how prolific a passer he can be.

From no-look dimes while cutting to the basket to wraparounds under the rim, Simmons proved that even as a 6-foot-10 big, he possesses the basketball savvy to be a facilitator and perhaps run the offense as a point-forward early in his career.

The 19-year-old Aussie finished just shy of a triple-double, scoring eight points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out eight assists in 30 minutes of action.

Unfortunately for him, a 3-pointer at the end of regulation by D'Angelo Russell sealed the Philadelphia 76ers' fate.
