Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and Montverde Academy alum, paid a visit to campus on Monday as the Philadelphia 76ers were in town. 

He took some shots with head coach Kevin Boyle and addressed the basketball team prior to practice. 

Simmons, an Australian native, won multiple high school championships at Montverde Academy. 

In 2015, Simmons won the Gatorade National Player Of The Year, was named a McDonald's All-American, named the Naismith Prep Player of the Year and was a First-team Parade All-American. 

At LSU Simmons was a consensus first-team All-American, first-team All-SEC and named the SEC Freshman of the Year. 

His rookie year in the NBA has unfortunately been sidelined due to injury.
