SIMMS STOCK

Tonight is the 6th game out of 11 played where Amir has scored only single digits. As the leader of our team, this roller coaster performance is painful to watch and not helping his draft stock. I hope he can turn things around and have a strong second half to the season so he can finish as he had hoped.
That said, even a stellar night by Simms wouldn’t have done a thing to stop a team shooting 55% from the arc on 27 shots. Wow.
Go Tigers!!

I agree. He has missed 11 straight 3s going back a few games. Needs to start playing more consistent as a senior.

Y’all really think he’s an NBA player?

I love him man and think he can make a decent living over seas but probably not NBA. I’m no scout so I wouldn’t wager anything on my opinion but hopefully he just lives it up as a college player.

Not any more unless he REALLY shows something more from here on out.

Simms IS NOT a perimeter player

He needs to get his butt down low and play the PF position and use his skill set to screen/roll, post ups, high post & drive and the baby hook in the paint. The BS excuse that he and Hall "don't have good chemistry" is just a weak excuse by BB who doesn't know how to run an offense.

Unfortunately Amir tried about 4 - 5 baby hooks tonight and missed all of them. PJ as a freshman already has a much better hook shot than Amir. PJ is making a strong case for more PT.

Agreed, but he's hurting the team

by trying to 'show his all around game' to NBA scouts who undoubtably told him to work on his perimeter shot when he got his evaluations by putting his name in the draft pool.

I have always felt that he would end up in Europe.

I certainly hope I’m wrong, but the only NBA action I expect him to see will be a courtesy tryout or two as an undrafted free agent.
I think he’s an outstanding vocal leader, and very talented, but hasn’t been consistent enough offensively this year. I think it’s great that he is unselfish, but when we hit a scoring drought he needs to be that guy to demand the ball and get us a basket.

Simms is a good player but doesn't have the complete offensive skill to take over a game. Lacks the dribble drive ability to hit open spots for 12 - 15ft jump shots. His offense is mainly stand and shoot 3s, assisted layups and occasional moves around the rim for baby hooks, which he doesn't make with enough consistency. Thought he would've developed a more polished game before last season. Appears to have hit his ceiling which doesn't translate well to the NBA. The Tigers will need to hit 3s at a very good clip along with Honor creating shots to open up his game and have a very successful season. On another note, surprised how little play at 9.5 mins Newman3 got. Is he still dealing with an injury?

Draft? He isn't an NBA caliber player. He might get there for a sec as a slight possibility, but it won't be through the draft and he will generally play in other leagues. He has no chance at a real NBA career. He never did.

He would have to be able to light it up from 3 to have had any chance due to other flaws in his game. He just won't stick. Hopefully he is good enough to play in Europe.
