BEN Simmons has been a busy man as the NBA Draft draws nearer, but he still found time to film two commercials for sportswear retailer, Foot Locker.

The first shows Simmons in a homemade ad, speaking to a puppet version of last season’s No. 1 pick, Karl-Anthony Towns.

The second features Simmons with Towns, Devin Booker, and D’Angelo Russell; the Australian seeking advice from his counterparts, all of whom are signed with Nike.

The commercial ends with Russell throwing Simmons’ phone into a pool, making light of the Lakers point guard’s controversial filming incident from the 2015-16 season.

Simmons signed with Nike earlier in the month, in what was a multi-year, multimillion-dollar deal, the terms of which weren’t disclosed.

In 2014, Dante Exum appeared in several Foot Locker commercials of his own; though, he was signed to adidas.
