Not too much, I seem to remember a certain sacramento team that had some excellent passing bigs.

No problem. It’s kinda cool that some of these guys (James Edwards, Vinnie, John Long, Rick Mahorn, Dumars runs the team, Bing runs the city..etc) like to stick around the area. He was on Drew and Mike a year or so ago talking about the area and that house he lived in and gushed about it. He also said that his lawyer is the same guy he’s been with for years and works on Northwestern highway or something.. Great personality and he’ll have a network or former teamates still around to socialize with.
I didn’t find anything on Freep or detnews reporting anything, so I don’t know how these guys got the exclusive..the source seems a bit random, but all in all, he never forgot where he came from after being on other teams and different tv shows and movies..Good guy. It will be nice seeing him around the palace and area if infact this comes to fruition.

Man, if we draft Sims, then the best passers on our team would be the two guys that play in the post! Oh how the game of basketball has changed..

This team needs players. as our 2nd pick in the 2nd round I’d consider Sims, but if someone else who could definitely make the roster falls I’d much rather take that guy. Sims will struggle to make the NBA.

It is a wonderful dream but why not try it? If Henry Sims is there in the second he brings a whole lot of what we need.

The key right now is making sure Lawrence Frank gives his young guys opportunities (like they do in San Antonio) and uses the whole roster. This way whatever potential our guys have we develop and benefit from.

This team needs bigs. I watched Sims play one game this year and wondered why people where not talking more about him. Bringing in a project big with a 2nd pick in the 2nd round can’t be bad. Maybe Macklin turns into a starting C ( I can Dream) moving Monroe to PF then a guy like Sims as a backup to Macklin. Say we draft Sullinger first he could back up Monroe. Sullinger our PF version of Harden from OKC . Sullinger would crush most back up PF making life for BG much easier. Such a wonderful dream….
