Let's hope he doesn't knock himself out of games, hitting his head on the rim

I know nothing about him but will he even become an upgrade over Nerlens Noel backing up Mitchell Robinson??

Has a good name.
Given his immense physical talent, it amazes me that he never seems to have progressed in terms of offensive skills. His lateral movement/footwork on D really is amazing. If he can learn to shoot foul shots at a 75% clip he will be an asset...Add a consistent jump hook and he might get decent minutes. Doesn't look like you want him handling the ball much, though.

he has the measurements and athletic tools to be as good as Noel or better in future.

Some scary looking hops. And no KP pencil legs to break down with all that leaping and landing. Kid looks thick, at least. Should be able to possibly push Mitch in practice.
Nice pick, BRIGGS. |

Texas is a BIG MAN Factory, they find these big guys with enormous tools but they rarely come out anything other than raw. How does the Texas coach still have a job, doesn't seem like these players learn much in the 1 year or get better. How can we get Leonard Hamilton, Florida State Coach on our staff or scouting for us...

This guy seems like a very good pick at 58 considering his raw talents. Seems like a real guy to develop into a defensive weapon off the bench. I was worried we would run out of talented big men because teams started grabbing every one in the big board, but I’m surprised this guy seems to have decent talent and great hoops to actually become a piece on the bench at some point.
Concluded a crazy night with a solid pick. Knicks_Fan

Noel has a defensive IQ and has excellent court coverage out to the Perimeter and great timing to create turnovers without too many fouls. Jericho Sims is a tenative player without much skill and very little court sense at this point in time. He basically is where Norvel Pelle was like 4-5 years ago. He is pretty similar to Pelle- a raw athlete that needs to learn to play. |

Ah he was a good pick at 58. Hrs got rich sun holmes level upside. The Knicks probably knew a back up center would be there at 58 and grabbed last man standing.

Guy is an athletic freak, and i suspect the Knicks thought it was worth to get him in for an extended look.
Still think the elephant in the room is how can a guy with that much athleticism be such a complete unknown and non-factor for that long i would have chosen Hauser: now with the Celtics (5)(7)
