I hope Sims learns to become a little more of a wing threat. He won’t get many minutes with the bigs we have next year unless he can play a little 3 at times.

Something he's going to have to do if he wants to play IMO. Develop a better outside shot and learn to handle the ball a little better. Right now, he's just not much of a 3 point threat at all and you really dont want him dribbling the ball more than 2 or 3 times before getting rid of it, he cant create anything for others or his own shot.

Most folks forget Simms came out his senior year LA Gatorade POY, but he was one of those "finished product" types as a senior. Not much to coach up with him because he can't create, can't leap and can't hit 3's with any consistency. He's a "has to work for it" player on the boards and lives on stuff like that and put-backs. It's hard to coach someone up who peaked in high school due to athleticism and height.
