Australian basketball phenomenon Ben Simmons has again starred for Louisiana State University with 23 points in their 78-66 US college win over South Alabama.

Simmons, who has been touted as a future No.1 NBA draft pick, looked unstoppable at times.

The 19-year-old also had 16 rebounds, three assists and two steals as LSU kept their unbeaten record intact after three games.

Simmons is not feeling any pressure in the step up from high school to college either.

"It feels a little bit simpler for me because there is more space on the floor," Simmons said post-game.

"High school is more crammed up... it's an adjustment but I am getting used to it and I'm looking forward to a good season."
