Sims feels like the guy most likely to develop into a trade asset. He's one of those players who has enough to intrigue teams, but not enough dazzling athleticism to make teams want to burn a roster spot on him as a project.
I could easily see him developing into an adequate backup center who is a finesse big with good passing skills on offense and an intelligent defender who can block shots on defense, but never being much more than an average rebounder.
Agreed. But the lack of consistent rebounding is troubling. Nor is he wide or strong enough to clog the middle or slow down other big guys. He maybe no better than a more skilled Ryan Hollins
Samuels maybe has a more nba ready body , though his iq is not as high as Sims. Plus doesn't have good quickness
No wonder these guys are in the nbdl, its like a almost production ready car but missing a wheel
Jarome Jordan, again, has Mcgee/Jordan written all over him but he doesn't do much of the little things to be a nba guy.
Rick Jackson intrigues me for some reason. A little on the short side (6'9) and shoulders are a little narrow (like Jermaine oneil), but he can really rebound by a combination of length, jump and strength. Plus has pretty good iq.
Out of all i have listed, Jackson might be the most useful or fit. Bc bottom line is he can rebound (our #1 need) on both ends of the court unlike collins or wilcox.
He has dominated college in rebounding and is consistently pulling down 10 plus in the nbdl. Whose to say he can't continue this in the nba
