JERICHO SIMS The Next Human Highlight Reel ?! | New York Knicks

New York’s final selection in the 2021 NBA Draft was high-flying forward Jericho Sims out of the University of Texas. The 22-year-old was drafted 58th overall after spending four years as a Longhorn.

Sims was a force in the paint during his time in Austin, leading his team in blocks and rebounds in his junior and senior seasons while helping his school win their first Big-12 Tournament title in 2021 with a monster 21-point, 14-rebound performance in the championship game.

The 6-10 Sims is incredibly athletic, big, and can move well for someone his size. We’ve all seen the viral video of Sims hitting his eye on the rim, showing that his bounciness is off the charts. Sims’ 44.5-inch max vertical jump at the 2021 NBA Draft Combine is tied for the third-highest jump in event history, per NBA.com.

Jericho Sims has shown fantastic athleticism and aggressiveness rebounding around the rim but has a lot to learn regarding defensive shape and positioning. A season with the G-League would do him well, but having so many veteran faces to learn from should benefit him tremendously.
