+20 today. Good d
I thought he was phenomenal.
If he ever develops a face up jumpshot, he'll get a very nice contract.
I am still shocked at how quick off the ground he gets

Very explosive!! He also does a good job of sliding his feet on the perimeter. There is no doubt that he should be our back-up 5 next season. Taj should be emergencies only and we gotta figure out a way to move Noel.
When BRIGGS posted his vids pre draft I was impressed by his d and how quickly he was turning his hips on d guarding one on one. What could he develop in the off season? I think it's the same as what Mitch failed so far. One go to move in the post, perhaps with one counter move and free throw shooting. If he does that he would be a very valuable asset to us going forward
He was the best big we had on the floor today,
Mitch made Drummond look like Embiid.

Yeah, he definitely is more Ben Wallace than Rodman. I don't know that Sims has Wallace's lateral quickness, but he definitely looks like he could be a 10+ rebounder if given 33 minute a game. What he will have to show is if he can block shots and consistently anchor the defense, but his hops and energy are excellent. He has the potential to be a good starter in this league.
He isnt any of those players. Those guys made All NBA teams. Jericho is a 3rd center, at best a back-up

Mitch is a backup center right now. And I’m the biggest Mitch fan but I don’t see his growth development increasing at the rates expected. And my fear is he’s stepping up cause it’s a contract year. So we still need a starting PG and a starting center. The same needs we’ve had for a decade. I missed most part of the game in the 1st half, but good to hear sims played well.
I like Sims a lot but if he’s our starting Center next season oofah it’s gonna be a rough year
