2016 NBA Draft Rankings

LSU freshman Ben Simmons is virtually a lock to be the #1 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.  He has a LeBron-like game, but I'd love to see him lead his team to a few more victories.  Right now they're putting themselves in jeopardy of missing the NCAA tournament, and it'd be tough to pick a guy first who couldn't even lead his team to the postseason. 

Here's the first edition of my top 60 players, along with the next bunch on my radar.
