Aussie basketball up-and-comer Ben Simmons to feature on ESPN

Aussie basketball sensation Ben Simmons will feature on ESPN in 24 Louisiana State Games to air live and exclusive.

Simmons, the 19-year-old, 6’10 basketball sensation from Melbourne, is poised to take college hoops by storm this summer and ESPN Australia will have all the action. In his freshman year at Louisiana State University, Simmons was described by LSU legend Shaquille O’Neal as “the best player in the world”, and is widely tipped to enter the NBA next year as the #1 draft pick.

ESPN Australia will follow Simmons on his journey, broadcasting at least 24 LSU games beginning with Simmons' first game on Saturday November 14th. ESPN.com, the ESPN App and ESPN Australia’s social accounts will deliver all the scores, highlights and news from every LSU game.
