Sources: LSU's Ben Simmons To Sign With Klutch Sports For Pro Representation

LSU F Ben Simmons, seen as the prospective No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, "plans to sign with the Lebron James-funded Klutch Sports agency for his pro representation," according to sources cited by Adrian Wojnarowski of THE VERTICAL. Rich Paul of Klutch Sports "will serve as Simmons' agent." Simmons' older sister, Emily Bush, "has been a marketing/branding employee of Klutch" since '14. Wojnarowski notes within the basketball industry, it "has been understood that Klutch has been the only real pro representation that Simmons has considered." Sources said that Klutch's representation of Simmons "has been in place for over a year, and agency papers to formalize the partnership are expected to be signed soon" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 3/14).
