Ben Simmons

From Rotoworld:

"Ben Simmons wasn’t happy about being left off the All-Star Team and racked up a monster triple-double, most of which came in just under 22 minutes. He grabbed 11 boards in the first quarter alone and finished with 19 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists, and set a few records in the process of racking up the fifth TD of his career (courtesy SBNation):

5 Triple-doubles: The most for a rookie since Magic Johnson did it in 1979-80. He’s only two behind Magic and the breaking of that record appears to be inevitable.

His 19-17-14 line with two blocks has only been done by one other player, and that was Larry Bird. However, it was probably done by a handful of others before blocks were an official NBA stat category.

And as far as we know, Simmons’ TD was the third fastest in history."
