I Hart's performance last season and the amount of money he got paid this offseason should serve as a good example for Sims to pick up his preparation and play this season.

[@DragonsFrogs]

Yeah the problem is that he doesn’t have but the slightest fraction of Hartenstein’s skill or agility.

[@georgedepalma429]

@@DragonsFrogs- Ihart is been on a couple teams an a lot more playing time, hence more skill. Sims is more agile, speed and vertical but he lacks confidence.

[@melissalynn7608]

Tips gotta get simms defending elite and he'll play

[@ivanobregon8162]

@@DragonsFrogs Neither did ihart show so much skill (and sorry, much as I like him, he's no $90 million man, that's NYC hype), either, until the second half of last season. Dude is now on his SIXTH team. Solid reserve (he will be a bkup in OKC, too) but people have hyped him beyond sense: 8 pts and 8 rebs a game (and even two unforgettable playoff games) are replaceable. His tenacity will be missed, he's bigger than Sims and his ability to get off that floater and an occasional assist were nice, but he was MANHANDLED by an Embiid on ONE LEG and a NERVE DISORDER (Thibs should have inserted Sims to make Joel jump on that bad knee!) while IND destroyed him at the rim, in the paint and at the arc, ihart just not athletic enough to keep up with IND's frontline (while Thibs refused to play the Knick with the third greatest score on the athleticism test in NBA history (and even the insertion of a 6'9" center in Diakite who won a ring in SA would have been better than an undersized deuce, an injured (and AWFUL) jhart and maybe even an ineffective ihart(0 points in G7!) after IND blew us out THREE times by 30 points!). Regardless, the problem is NOT Sims (who is, after all, a backup and as a 3rd stringer 5, the best in the league at that role, so why not the second unit now?) but Mitch's durability. ihart was here last year in his place (Mitch's AND Sims') and certainly no savior in the playoffs, the predictable fate of almost any backup pushed into a starting role in an NBA playoff. It's Mitch AND Thibs who must "evolve" to avoid season-ending injury/ies again.

[@Virgil200]

This is a great video. I don’t understand why more fans don’t want to give Jericho a shot at the rotation. Give him more consistent minutes like Deuce last year and see what happens.

[@brianharris9949]

It’s do or die time for Jericho. I like his athleticism and I like him more than most Knicks fans. Has to make that leap.

[@jrheisler]

Consider he spent half of his second year with a torn shoulder, surgery when they got to the playoffs. Last year, he sprained his ankle right after Mitch went down. Precious got the minutes.

[@dbee491]

Sims is the man!!! Frankenstein went to OKC he was the beast the Knicks needed to keep also.. Sims can rise to be a star ⭐✨ he is a beast 💪 still young seems smart enough not to get hurt 🤕 duly noted, no injuries Knicks ...

[@s1ime369]

I already miss the ihart floater

[@BartMan59]

Your analysis sounds like it's spot on. I am hoping someone is work with Simms on defense this off season -che is OVERDUE to produce. let's hope. Great vid.

[@MrWarmachine3]

I love this. Time to give Jericho the green light.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

green light is fine just ... I wouldn't expect much. They're going to end up trading for a better C before the deadline

[@YankeesFan1335]

@@LysergiCoyotlthere are no other good centers available.

[@bobfisher-zd2lt]

Absolutely 👍🏿

[@LysergiCoyotl]

@@YankeesFan1335 not right now but they will end up making a move by the deadline. someone will become available.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

@@YankeesFan1335 Im fine with seeing how the team looks instead of forcing a questionable trade now. We have a lot to work with, and if Jericho or Hukporti or whoever already here can really make it happen with a bigger role that'd be great. But Sims is 25 and hasn't shown levels of progress that indicate he will be able to be that guy. I think it will be end up still being seen as a hole to fill by deadline.

[@ronb5391]

Ok. So am I tripping or is Sims shooting that baseline left shoulder fade with his left hand? 🤔 (Beginning of Video)

[@mrskeetsh9397]

He's a kind of Kobe and Larry legend but bigger and stronger 💪

[@ivanobregon8162]

Averaged out over 30 mins, he scores 7 pts, grabs almost 11 rebs a game and gets 1.5 blocks a game, not so different from Mitch or ihart (and this on a lot fewer mins and the randomness of not knowing when the hell you are going to play or with whom: basically got his 'chance' with the entire frontline decimated and the early horror of the Burks-Bogs trade and even then with very limited time due to the emergence of ihart and the arrival of Precious!). I agree with you that he's got it in him to become a solid double-double 2 blocks a game reserve. He excelled in college (with more O than he's been allowed to display on the Knicks, Thibs having him on too tight a leash!), the Summer League and the G league and if he gets to play with Kolek who (unlike JB) WILL find him, this could be his breakout season. He led the team in shooting efficacy at 69% (I know I know...), improved his FT to 66% (hovered around 75% most of the year), protected the rim at 56% (ihart was better at 53% but Mitch was worse at 61%), showed off what some consider the BEST perimeter defense of any 5 in the league (his defense on guards at the arc can be breathtaking at times for people who understand basketball bc of the extraordinary agility he's capable of at that size, his ability to cover ground on the court for a center almost unheard of, really!) and was the starting 5 through at least some of that memorable 14-2 run in January; in fact, I knew we had arrived when Sims and the Knicks dominated Joker and the Nuggets in a game at MSG! In the end, we'd better be positive and encouraging this young man bc a lot of the criticism I see is unfair, excessive and unwarranted (not to mention stupidly cruel, a nasty trait in this fan base echoing the hate we've seen directed at Thibs, Julius, Deuce and Mitch before and even now) and we are definitely going to need him (perhaps very much) this year, either as a starter or a backup, 2nd and yes (on this team) third, too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGqi2OXYr2Xfdk

[@Sausedeez5666]

I didn't even know he was practicing jump shots. Looks good

[@NewYorkRebel187]

I think mid season we can possibly look to add a vet center. Right now I’m cool with precious / sims

[@michaelbedard7859]

Needs a heart. Defenceman is all heart and want.

[@gravy0038]

No worries T Kolek will make Sims look good..

[@ddanny525]

They need to get one of the best free agents left, like Omer Yurtseven, for the vet min, and bring back Precious back (I also want Davis Bertans for the min as well). Keep Sims on third string, and if he doesn't improve on D this year, trade him..

[@brienmacgearailt7801]

he would be a better 4

[@mrgarfer]

I just have never seen him box out on the boards

Good move let's go knicks this year We are gonna get a championship Ok 💥💯🔥👍👋💪👏🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@PeterCarranza-q2n]

He can do the job,He did great job,when Mitch deside to take vacations 😂😂😂😂

[@The_Word_Is_The_Way]

He does need to improve his defense. Precious Achiuwa played great defense when his number was called. Sims would do well if he took some pointers from him.

[@everydayishalloweenhaunted5543]

SIMS A XFACTOR WTF NO WAY

[@ULlisting]

Can Simms learn defense from Thibodeau and the other coaches?

[@josephipattersonh6933]

Mentally he’s not ready.

[@chrisconnors9449]

He better be because this is his last chance

[@georgecherry1536]

That's why they hired Mark Bryant. Thibs has his hands full right now probably writing a new playbook so Bryant can help with Jericho Simms. If they don't sign another big then we go with what we got and Simms needs to be ready. This is an excellent idea along with the work Simms has already been doing with Mike Bibby he should be ready to contribute. There's no one else for now so I'm optimistic he can help. Now that there's nothing in his way he'll have to be given a chance. Maybe he'll make the most of it. We should have faith in the coaching staff. I believe they can get him ready and the team can hide his flaws. It is what it is.

[@jmase19]

Imagine if it was

[@josephipattersonh6933]

The rookie is better than sims

[@Rodxyou]

Perhaps it's time for Jericho Simms to shine as the #2 Center with more playing time or more like #3 Center again. We see in preseason.

[@chrisdadda]

Forget about the turnaround jumper. Defense, rebounds and free throws!!!!

[@lemmie_live5969]

I’m not even looking at Jericho, Precious looking solid in these highilghts

he needs mins. so he can get comfortable in a rotation

Sims is a G.

[@DarrylAtkins]

Mark Bryant u have been brought to the knicks to work with Simms this is his 4yr in the league if tibbs plays him and give him more minutes he can be better but tibbs have to see what he as developed this summer

Cuz he got injured I think ​@@isaiahquinton6392

[@dennisvalerioti1797]

He hasn’t played enough to develop.Mostly sits the bench.

[@JohnBullFubu]

He could get better with playing time

[@K_Reezee75]

Sims has athletism, thats it. Defensive IQ below avg, offensive game below evg unless he is dunking. Freethrow shooting below avg. He can dominate on the boards defensively and offensively with a little more work and heart. Not enough developement in 3 seasons. Whatever playing time he gets he has to show way more improvement this coming season. Right now not too high on him.

[@DC-uf6ve]

At least someone is grounded in the real world. We can't be relying on Sims and the undersized Achiuwa for 50 games next season when Mitch inevitably breaks down. This is the difference between challenging and another 1st or 2nd round exit.

[@juanayala4519]

Thibs needs to give sims more playing time the guy is super athletic and has more offense than mitch

[@chrisconnors9449]

Seems like that’s the plan. Still would have to get a 3rd option. Resign Achuwa or bring up Dmytro Skapinstev that played in the summer league.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

If Jericho Sims is the Knicks secret weapon, consider me Miles Davis.

I hope he’s been working hard this off season.

[@deezosaintloyal]

sims won’t be able to replicate what hartenstein did for the knicks. thibs likes bigs who crash offensive boards, play defense, and can pass/playmake. Hartenstein was one of the best passing bigs last season. He bought into the role of Chicago’s Joakim Noah I doubt sims would ever be able to do that

[@upp3rm00n5]

Needs to work on his passing. He can avg 12/7/4 we will be good.

[@johnmusso781]

Give SIMMS MORE PLAYING TIME.

[@jonyc5563]

I love my Knicks but J. S. is a undersized center with barely no offensive game. Also not that great as a defender. I dont think he averaged 1 block shot per game. He doesn't intimidate anyone trying to drive to the basket. I hope he takes a step forward like McBride did last year but i dont see it happening.

[@djsthemetereman]

Sims is no I-Hart

[@WilliamJohnson-w4t]

Now you talking he is the best choice my name is William Johnson

[@jayeye1714]

Your delusional if you think Sims Is going to be an X factor and a Thibs type of player when he plays no defense

[@luthersimmons9352]

So why didn’t he play Summer league? Trace Davis Jackson started last year and STILL played Summer league. He coulda definitely used the reps.

Just resign Precious 😅

[@eletonjohns8361]

An occasional back door Dunk Doesn’t make you Qualified to be a Key player for the Knicks, or any other NBA team. Sims RUNS AWAY from Offense. He doesn’t want the ball. When he’s on the floor, it’s a 4 Man Offense. He Can’t Shoot a Foul Shot from the Line. He’s a Waste. You can’t excuse the Major Error the Knicks made by letting Hartenstein get away. Nor the Fact that Sims is No starting Center on ANY Team..

Sims simply doesnt have the IQ to stay on the court. He wa barely even playable last season. Physical gifts or not he just doesnt have good positioning, and just doesnt seem to be in the right place at the right time, cant pass. Basically a walmart verson of mitch

[@davidl7134]

I don't like Mitchell Robertson but sims not the answer to replace waste of life waste off existence bumitch.also tibs ruined whatever ever sims had.....................tibs will use him less then precious

[@newyorkguy158]

He's a G-League player who has shown nothing in the nba. He can jump but not rebound. Can't shoot. Defense eh. I can't believe this video. Wishful thinking. Waste of time. The Knicks want to trade him. Only play him in an emergency.

Sims is not good enough and he's too old to still be developing. Precious is too small to rely on for 40 games a season. We're desperate for a proper big, our season depends on it. Do you even watch any ball?
