Ben Simmons is set to take the American college basketball competition by storm during the 2015-16 season, and in a big win for Australian basketball fans, they’ll be able to keep up with his journey live, with the bulk of the action to be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN2.
The broadcaster has committed to bringing fans 24 LSU games live throughout the season, leaving just a handful without a broadcaster in Australia.
If you don’t currently have access to ESPN, you can sign up for Foxtel Play, which will give you access to all of the ESPN broadcast matches across all of your devices.
You can also download the free Roar TV app, to view highlights of his games throughout the season.
During his time in the American high school system, Simmons was labeled as “the best high school player in the country” by NBA legend (and former LSU player) Shaquille O’Neal.
Simmons is widely tipped to be taken with the number one pick in 2016 NBA draft after just one season in the college system.
