When it comes to rookie center Jericho Sims, the New York Knicks are incredibly high on his potential. Standing at 6’9″ and 250-pounds, Sims has a lot of developmental work left ahead of him, which is why he would likely spend the majority of the 2021–22 season with the team’s G-League squad.
However, Sims has the potential to be a long-term solution at center, especially after a dominant performance on the boards in the Knicks’ most recent preseason win over the Washington Wizards.
Sims recorded 13 rebounds, three of which were offensive. He tallied seven points, shooting 50% from the field.
