Jericho Sims

Sims is a specialist, and there's no shame in it. A second-round pick by the Knicks in 2021, he built a role on the things that don't fill a box score: vertical spacing as a lob threat, offensive rebounding, and switchable athleticism at the rim. Milwaukee acquired him from New York in early 2025 and leaned on him for 67 games in 2025-26, including 19 starts, where he averaged a quiet 5.0 points and 5.5 rebounds. He doesn't stretch the floor — the offense gets built around him, not through him — but his motor and bounce keep him employed. He valued that security enough to pick up his player option in June 2026, betting on a steady bench-big role in Milwaukee rather than testing free agency.
