I think a pretty good comp for Sims is Deandre. Super raw athlete. His touch looks pretty good.
Get him signed to a contract immediately, can find elite finishers that easy. He’s a steal if they work with him. Noel and Gibson can be very helpful in his maturity. |

This kid has some nice footwork already. What I did not expect was the skyhook and the floater!?! Wow looks like he already has more skills on offense than any other center we have

Okay, let’s not do what we always do. I really like the kid, but this is a summer league. Remember that Knox looked great there too. NBA is something else, though. Of course, Sims should be a project, but it is completely unrealistic to expect it to fall into rotation. The G league is waiting for him at the moment.

Long way to go for Sims, but I was happy with his awareness activity. The issue with him is, yes he's a great athlete, but does he know what to do out there? Does he react too slowly? I think he played with confidence and showed he was a bit further along. 2 way contract is the right type of deal for now. Lots of time with summer league and training camp to determine whether he can earn something more than that.
