Ben Simmons, tipped as a possible top pick in this year's NBA draft, won't play for his native Australia at the Rio Olympics, his agent says. The 19-year-old declared for June's NBA draft after his freshman season at Louisiana State University and his agent Rich Paul told ESPN he would forego the Games to focus on his new NBA commitments. "Ben Simmons will postpone playing with the Australian Olympic team this summer in order to concentrate fully on his NBA activities following the upcoming 2016 NBA draft," Paul said in a statement.
