I think he\u2019s growing, he\u2019s learning, he puts a lot into it every day. And I think playing has been helpful for him, but it\u2019s his preparation I think that\u2019s helping him the most. He\u2019s a lot more confident.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So far, so good for the experiment that began following the All-Star break and is picking up steam as the Knicks prepared to face the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>While starting center Mitchell Robinson didn\u2019t play against the Hornets due to a sore back, the longest-tenured Knick made his return against the Heat on Friday, but Sims still started.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Knicks-Sims.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Jericho Sims\" class=\"wp-image-21675061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Knicks-Sims.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Knicks-Sims.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Knicks-Sims.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Knicks-Sims.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Jericho Sims<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Asked why he kept Sims in the lineup, Thibodeau said, \u201cBecause I could,\u201d then laughed.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks can offer Robinson a $55 million contract extension by June 30.

Sims averaged 27 minutes in the two starts.<\/p>\n<p>Give Knicks <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> manager Scott Perry and assistant GM Walter Perrin a ton of credit for selecting Sims at No. 58 in the draft last July when some in the organization want to trade the pick for a future selection.<\/p>\n<p>Sims is an active, high-flying, athletic 6-foot-9 center who rebounds well and has an instinctive touch around the basket. He played four years at Texas, but still is learning the nuances of offensive sets and can be hesitant on defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Sims learns how and when to disrupt shots he\u2019s going to be tough,\u2019\u2019 one NBA coach told The Post. \u201cBut they need a big that can stretch the floor.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>That is not Sims\u2019 forte \u2014 nor is it Robinson\u2019s or Nerlens Noel\u2019s. Taj Gibson has developed a 3-point shot, but he\u2019s 36.Because of Sims\u2019 lack of a mid-range game, he is projected as a career backup by some scouts \u2014 which still isn\u2019t bad for a 58th selection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther than a natural thing, just his hard work, his energy, his burst, his foot speed,\u2019\u2019 Gibson said of Sims. \u201cHe can guard multiple positions. He\u2019s super athletic. But the main thing is he wants to learn. You don\u2019t have to ask him to come into the gym. You don\u2019t have to worry about him being in the gym at a certain time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wants to learn. He asks me questions. But he\u2019s real quiet. He has the long mentality. I\u2019m happy that he\u2019s getting reps, just trying to keep him focused, keep him locked into the game, and learn the team and find ways he can help be effective.\u2019\u2019\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
