He’s not the pure shot blocker bassey is but he may have more tangible nba sl defensive skills. On offense it’s somewhat plain Jane but it’s a forceful plain Jane plus showing some new advanced footwork w the dribble.6-11 250 with a43 inch vertical almost sounds like Tom chambers RIP Crushalot😞

I am just now realizing that Texas had Jericho Sims, Greg Brown and Kai Jones on their roster.

That combination of 250 pounds 7-4 wingspan and 43 inch vertical is insane. It will translate better to nba. Unlike the skinny as hell Jackson from Kentucky. This guy can play Tom RIP Crushalot😞

Kai did get some recognition but maybe that's just upside? Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

This guy was never on my radar but how can we look past his nba attributes. He was also the best big man in the combine pick up games. One reason I liked basset was his resemblance to Myles turner and that still holds but physically you move sims ahead of Bassey with target of pick 32 Listened to the Chad Ford podcast with Hollinger. Hollinger brought up some points about the combine. Point 1: Shuttle run is useless execpt for maybe small guards. Point 2: running certs like the 44 inches Sims recorded aren't generally as useful as standing certs. Point 3: +4> wingspan to height is ideal for NBA success. That said, Sims recorded 37 inch very, which is still impressive. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

That guy has serious hops. His head is almost even with the rim on every dunk. Definitely looks like someone to take a flyer on.

I really like Greg Brown also. These are the kinds of guys that maybe don’t make the 10 man rotation their first year but are clearly athletic gym rats that will keep that hard working culture the Knicks are building around. I love the possibilities this draft. You know I gonna spin wit it

I’m less inclined to package then for 1 when we might be able to get 3 very good players. As of now we have two alpha in Julius and rj. To sustain a proper balanced cap drafting and keeping salaried control players who help is important. That way we keep the space open for a star nba player RIP Crushalot😞

I think this year will be tough to identify who should be taken where (Covid)... so, yes, it is nice to have extra picks. That said, I think it might be more likely to pick the wrong guy this year. If the team identifies the guy they think will be a star, I personally would trade up and save the cap space. DLeethal wrote:

Parking 3 guys from this talent pool, even if they are in the 11-15 slots of the rotation - there is a certain freedom to that to be able to take the more athletic, less skilled players. You know I gonna spin wit it

I’d like to hear others thoughts on Sims
A few things I like about him that I noticed that will translate well 1I really like the size legit 6-10 251 with long wingspan. His bounce is sick. He reminds me of Richaun Holmes 2. He is excellent at setting picks. If u watched our team — thins was big on picks. Sims is a big big guy who can set those picks but also has the speed to rile to the basket off those picks 3 defense — at 251 he’s big enough to body elite nba centers but he’s fast enough to switch on perimeter players— maybe the only guy in the draft with this elite in out defensive skill with his body weight 4 finishing. Probably very similar to what we already have in mitch. He’s gonna be a 65-% fg guy 5 athlete. Because he’s so big abd athletic. It’s possible he could transform into an elite nba big man if his skill progress over 3-4 years I think he has potential to give u what Holmes did this year 14-15/10-2-2 with potential first team defense caliber type skills other side RIP Crushalot😞

I don’t know him but am suspicious. All this size and athleticism and he’s a senior and the first time he’s on radar is because of combine vertical Any concerns with the looks like Tarzan plays like Jane meme? (5)(7)

He connected at 80%. So he’s gotta work on the ft and 12-14 footer but everything else is there. No need to spend 10 mm on a back up center RIP Crushalot😞
