Hukporti looks like a basketball player not just an athlete. Honestly it's almost like Mitch vs iHart on a much lower level. Jericho is Mitch without the physical dominance. Huk is a watered down, black version of iHart.
Sims is getting blown out IMO. He looks satisfied to be on mop up duty
Sims Could be Robin Lopez if he wanted to

Jarrett Allen?
Btw, Big Mermaid is the stupidest name of all time. Ariel means lion of god. Big Lion.

He could be the Center sent to us from the basketball Gods. Btw, Jericho in Hebrew means 'fragrant'.

Still partial to Huktuah
Sims will get the nod as back up until a trade occurs, Mitch returns, or Huk out performs. If and when that happens is gonna take time.
I have not been a huge fan of Sims and really still surprised he is still here but coaches by his return kind of confirm they see something in him besides the hops.
This is my choice for the here and now. The future? Sims is a free agent his summer. I doubt he sticks. He gets a few months more to prove himself.
Since fans tend to over react as per the title of this thread, I cast the first vote for Sims and smoke a bone in his honor!!!!!
Just so we are clear, this thread is to determine which 58th pick overall will make a better rotation piece on our team?
The fact that our FO found value at 58th pick in two separate drafts is respectable by itself.
Huk. It's super early, but he doesn't look completely lost out there. I can accept him as my third stringer. Sims never seems to know where he's supposed to be, he can just jump.

If it meant 'flagrant' then we might have a role for him.
Huk seems much more physically talented.
Simms with that mustache is preparing for a new career in porn ?

I disagree. It’s one of the best nicknames ever. They should be fun
You honestly think a nick name like Lion is good? Seems aggrandizing.
And huck Tuah is funny but not a good nickname. First off it’s already old. Second off how do you explain to wife and kids.
I suggest we embrace big mermaid and if we use huck tuah at all it be with reference to something like a big dunk rather than his nickname

No. I think Incredible Huk is better by a long shot. Like the obvious winner. Cause it’s like Hulk. Huk. Hulk. Get it. It’s funny cause it sounds like he is a big green monster.

Is it just me? Hukporti looks like he’s 40 years old

Also we already have a Bodega KAT. You can't call your fourth string center Lion and your starting center KAT. Kinda disrespectful.
This last game convinced me that Huk is way more valuable than Sims. Sims is just clueless most of the time. Huk is more aware, more polished even as a rook.
