In 2009 a Courtney Sims played 11 minutes for the Knicks in a late-season blowout vs. Detroit. Until 12 hours ago he was the only Sims in franchise history; since then the Knicks have added two. After drafting Jericho Sims last night, New York signed Aamir Sims, an unrelated, undrafted forward out of Clemson.
The two-time All-ACC honoree averaged double figures his junior and senior years, seasons he also made 40% of his 3-pointers. Sims did some of everything, becoming only the fourth TIger ever with at least “1,000 points, 600 rebounds, 150 assists, 75 steals and 75 blocks in a career — joining Trevor Booker, Horace Grant and Larry Nance.
