    After getting an up-close look at Philadelphia's Ben Simmons, Chicago rookie Denzel Valentine knows exactly whom the No. 1 overall pick reminds him of.

    "He's like a mini-LeBron," the Bulls' 14th overall pick said after facing Simmons for the first time as a pro Sunday. "LeBron's probably top 10, so if he's a mini-LeBron, that's saying a lot."

    In his second game at the Las Vegas Summer League, Simmons displayed another facet of his versatile game -- an ability to score.

    While he dazzled fans with his no-look passes in nearly missing a triple-double Saturday night against second overall pick Brandon Ingram and the Los Angeles Lakers, Simmons was more aggressive with his shot Sunday against Chicago.
