MELBOURNE, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Teenage Australian basketballer Ben Simmons, who grew up in suburban Melbourne, is set to be the focus of the sports world on Thursday when he is expected to be taken as the No.1 pick on basketball' s biggest day, the NBA Draft.
The college basketball star from Louisiana State University (LSU) is expected to be named by the Philadelphia 76ers at No.1, following in the footsteps of some of the game' s greatest players including LeBron James, Yao Ming and Shaquille O' Neal.
The June 23 NBA Draft, to be held in Brooklyn, New York is a date which Simmons would have had circled in his calendar since he chose to pursue basketball over Australian football at age 14.
Although Simmons was a promising Aussie Rules talent, it would seem basketball ran through his blood, after his US-born father, Dave Simmons, came to Australia in the 1990s to play in the country' s premier basketball competition, the NBL, as an import player for the Melbourne Tigers.
Now five years on, and four weeks shy of his 20th birthday, Simmons is ready to explode onto the NBA scene.
There are not many teenagers in the world who have been compared to LeBron James and have signed his first shoe deal with Nike and have been pronounced as Australia' s best basketballer before even playing a professional game.
But not many teenagers have the physical prowess and basketball talents of Ben Simmons.
At 2.08m, 109kg, and playing at the power forward position with incredible court vision and ball-handling skills, college basketball programs across the country were licking their lips at the prospect of having Simmons on their roster, and at their school.
LSU won the race to claim the wonder kid and, in his one and only college season, Simmons averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2 steals and 0.8 blocks - figures which earned him comparisons to a budding James, who took the NBA by storm straight out of high school, aged 18.
Despite it being an impressive campaign for Simmons, controversy mounted as he was unable to lead his LSU Tigers to a spot in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) March Madness Championship - the pinnacle for American college basketball.
So Simmons' road to the NBA Draft has been far from a smooth one. In light of the LSU experience, many NBA experts expressed doubts about his leadership and ability to be a franchise player.
His only competitor for the No.1 title is 18-year-old Duke University forward Brandon Ingram, who is expected to be drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the second overall pick in the draft.
In an exclusive interview with Xinhua, Andrew Gaze, who has long been considered Australia' s greatest basketball player, reinforced the 19-year-old' s credentials as the No. 1 pick.
"Based on what I' ve seen ... he has the potential to become something extraordinary on the world sporting stage," Gaze, the new coach of the Sydney Kings told Xinhua in May.
"I personally think, even though I haven't seen a lot of Ingram, Ben has a little more upside just because of his versatility, the way he sees the floor, the way he can instinctively put it on the floor and his rebounding," the one-time NBA champion and five-time Olympian said.
