Here's his highlights to watch, which always means the Knicks won't get that player:

I dunno about that, I think finesse is more about being skilled and finding success through talent and grace vs. winning primarily through grit and playing hard. Ideally you'd have both. Skill and toughness.

Sims to receive heavy minutes and may even start next to KAT during the season according to Shams.

Thibs makes it very hard to like him.

Dude is obsessed with this scrub. He has to be the main reason why this dude is on the roster at this point.

Or maybe they do want to run a version of what the Wolves did with Kat and Rudy, with Kat and Mitch, and Sims as the placeholder. :dontknow:

I know Shams is more plugged in than anyone other than Woj but starting Sims next to towns is crazy, even for thibs. I really don't believe it. Sims doesn't even offer rim protection, what would be the point of playing them next to one another?

I think we stay with Hart in the starting lineup for 5 games at least. Do we see some Sims and KAT minutes in a game? Maybe.

I think Sims is pretty bad so Huk should be getting those 12-15 minutes anyway.

idk - thibs started elfrid for two years. who at least played some defense. sims on the other hand really brings nothing besides being a body out there.

rebounding. it wasn't good during the pre-season and thibs cares about it. no rebounds no rings. some of you are too young to know who said that but he knows a thing or two about winning.

i don't know if it will be every night anyway. he'll give towns at 5 a lot of looks before he decides if/when to pull the plug on it.

makes a little bit more sense but I also don't really remember them giving up a ton of offensive rebounds in the preseason either. So that probably explains a lot of my confusion :lol: When Hart is trying 100% again would probably solve any rebounding issue.

it was mediocre. but we also only played 1 team of consequence.

like i said, i don't think it will be an every game thing. but i'm sure he'll want to see it some. against certain teams.
