I can't believe Sims is starting and he has held his own.
58th pick in draft.

we lost our elite rim protector during one of our toughest stretches and he's stepped in and done a great job

Apparently people really, really, (really) don't like to hear this, but the longview is almost always best.
And that's a SPORTS take.
We need something like a score bot to track some of Brigg's statements
he almost speaks things into existence -- yes, it's the opposite of what he said, but still... nice super power to have
iHart leads the league in boxouts. Fun fact
I've absolutely enjoyed watching Isaiah Hartenstein coming off the bench (as our 2nd unit Center while spelling Mitchell Robinson @ C).
He's darn near everything as advertised and then some because not only is he providing Thibs with 20 minutes per night as the NBA's #1 Rebounding Big fella off the bench (@ over .500% from the field too) but he also stepped up. In a major way (while Mitchell Robinson was hurt). And up against a schedule that had the potential to become (season killing) gruesome; that was big time out of Isaiah Hartenstein man.
(same goes for 24 year old Jericho Sims).
He also runs the floor really well alongside of our fast paced 2nd unit (who thrives when getting up and down the court and running).
Still very young @ only 24 years old but yet already apart of NY's bench 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
I have come to love his defense and rebounding. I wish he would finish at the rim stronger, but he has been a huge plus in the 2nd half
Michael porter jr #4.
I have to admit I was against drafting him.
I have to eat crow for that one.

glad stuff like this is coming out. A lot of people went with the "Julius is a bad teammate" thing last year and I never thought that was fair. Ive played with hyper emotional guys and yeah its got its up and downs but people are people and that's not a switch you can flick. Randle's a hot head and that's not good but glad to see him working the other side as well

I agree — that seemed heartfelt by Hartenstein.
Julius struggles to control himself on the court but I don’t get the sense he’s a bad egg.
He’s shown significant moments of self reflection (Johnny Bryant visit last summer) and he’s obviously tried to right his emotions (meditations) — I would assume his teammates get him.
