Before the start of last year’s college basketball season, Ben Simmons was the most coveted player going to LSU. The hype for the young star continued, though it waned once the school didn’t make the NCAA Tournament and the rise of Brandon Ingram carried all the way up to the draft.
Showtime will be releasing a documentary on Simmons in two months, following his life in the offseason before his rookie year. Viewers will get to know the Australian and how he grew up there, his basketball ascension and ultimately the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
One And Done premieres Friday, October 21 at 9PM EST.
