Highlights: Ben Simmons Goes For 6 Points, 7 Rebounds, 6 Assists

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- In two summer league games with the 76ers, No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons has done more passing than scoring.

Simmons has just 16 points on 4-17 (23.5%) shooting from the field. However, as advertised, Simmons has combined for 15 rebounds and 11 assists in those two games.

In the Sixers' first summer league win on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz, Simmons tallied six points, seven rebounds, and six assists on 2-8 shooting in 28 minutes.

Once again, the internet marveled over the passing of the 6-10, 240-pound forward.

"I didn't shoot to much this game," Simmons said after the game. "I was more facilitating. Overall we won the game, so that's the main goal."

The Sixers now head to Las Vegas to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, July 9th at 8:30 p.m. E.T.
