Ben Simmons knows he will have a bounty on his head when he makes his much-anticipated debut for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Boston Celtics.The Australian 19-year-old says he has been targeted by opponents desperate to outplay him since he landed in the US in 2013 with a big reputation.Its fun, Simmons told reporters on Sunday.I love getting the challenge. Simmons 76ers take on the Celtics on Monday (Tuesday 9am AEST) in the opening game of the NBA Summer League in Salt Lake City, Utah.Celtics rookie guard Jaylen Brown, who sat in Brooklyns Barclays Center at the recent NBA Draft and watched as Simmons was selected first by the 76ers, says he is ready to rip somebodys head off.Brown was picked third by the Celtics and is desperate to prove his doubters wrong. Simmons is ready.I know a lot of people will be coming for me because I got that number one spot, Simmons said.Its always been like that for me since high school.Everyone has always wanted to go at me and have that shot.The 76ers will play three Summer League games this week in Utah and then join 23 other NBA teams for the 10-day Las Vegas Summer League tournament.Summer League teams are made up of recently acquired draft picks, second-year players and desperate young free agents hoping to score a contract, just as undrafted Australian guard Matthew Dellavedova did three years ago with the Cleveland Cavaliers.Brown has not hidden his dislike for the 76ers decision to take Simmons ahead of him.At a Celtics basketball camp for children last week a video went viral of Brown playing a young, chubby boy in a game of one-on-one.Brown dunked on the boy when the boy taunted him with:You aint good. Ben Simmons is better.I said, All right, OK, 19-year-old, 201cm tall, Brown said.Simmons will also go head-to-head with the Celtics 23-year-old second round 2015 draft pick Marcus Thornton, who spent last year in the NBL with the Sydney Kings.Simmons signed his rookie contract, worth more than $US16 million ($A21.48 million) the next three years, on Saturday.The 76ers likely paid him the maximum allowed for his first year: $US5.9 million ($A7.92 million).
