Player in review: Yankuba Sima

Related Topics: Block (basketball), Free throw

The team's center logged a solid number of minutes... but may have been slowed down by his hand injury.

Like so many of the St. John's incoming recruits last season, Yankuba Sima was (and is) a developmental project, the kind of player a team usually likes to bring along slowly, feeding bits of playing time as carrots while the player hits the film and weight room.

Ah, but not on a team that lost over 90% of their minutes. And not on a team where the mercurial Chris Obekpa chose to transfer to UNLV after initially accepting a chance to play for Chris Mullin's Johnnies.
