WATCH: The best plays from Ben Simmons this season image

Ben Simmons once again ranks among the league leaders in assists this season.

After ranking fifth as a rookie, Simmons once again ranks fifth behind only Russell Westbrook, Kyle Lowry, Jrue Holiday and LeBron James.

While it’s certainly impressive to drop dimes at a voluminous rate from Day 1, ranking inside the top five in assists doesn’t truly do it justice when talking about Simmons and his incredible playmaking ability.

It’s not necessarily that he fills up the stat sheet, it’s how he fills up the stat sheet that’s perhaps most impressive. There’s a unique flair and flash to his passing that makes the second-year Sixer among the most cerebral players in the league.

Case in point?

Philly’s very first game of the season way back in October. With just under five minutes left in the second quarter, Simmons flipped a no-look dime over his head to Markelle Fultz who finished in traffic.

That proved to be merely the first of many memorable assists dished out from Simmons this season.

We went through every single 76ers game this season to pull out his best play from every game. If you want no-look wizardry, fast-break fanaticism and behind-the-back theatrics, we’ve got you covered.

For your viewing pleasure, here’s his best play from every game this season. Grab your popcorn and endulge in the best of the best.

Enjoy.

Here's a link to the remainder of the 76ers' schedule so you won't miss any of his next jaw-dropping plays.
