It wasn’t until late in the draft that the New York Knicks landed Texas big man Jericho Sims, who signed a two-way deal early on Sunday before posting an eye-opening performance in his NBA debut during the 2021 Summer League.
Sims can compete in a maximum of 50 NBA games this upcoming season on his new contract. However, the team might be looking to offer him a longer deal if he continues dominating in the paint and showcasing incredible athleticism.
In the loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, Sims played nearly 22 minutes.
