Can Knicks’ Jericho Sims sneak his way onto the roster for the 2021-22 season?

The New York Knicks walked away from the Summer League ecstatic about their young talent. Ranging from second-year guard Immanuel Quickley to 58th overall pick Jericho Sims, each individual player offered tremendous production and efficiency.

With expectations being blown out of the water, the Knicks have a few difficult decisions to make, and one of them lands with Jericho, who offered incredible athleticism and physicality in the paint.

At 6″10′ and 245-pounds, Sims averaged 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks last season with Texas in the Big 12. Averaging 24.5 minutes per game, he connected on 70% of his shots from the field and 52% from the free-throw line.
