Double trouble: Sims goes off
Well, well...
For UK fans believing that replacing Chuck Hayes was impossible, Rekalin Sims did his best on Wednesday night to fill any holes Kentucky might have in Hayes' absence. Sims was electric against the Georgetown Tigers, putting up 22 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
A closer examination of the numbers shows some surprising and exciting stuff. Sims posted 4 offensive boards in his 11 total. His 4-for-5 shooting night from three-point range bodes well, even if it's unrealistic he'll shoot with such efficiency throughout the season. His overall 8-for-10 shooting night includes several tip-ins, as well.
All in all, Sims was extremely active, taking a charge and forcing the game. His numbers also hide the fact that the Cats' probable starting backcourt -- Rajon Rondo and Patrick Sparks -- looked terrible for long stretches.
Cats fans love hustle, and Sims is the sort of humble, "aw shucks" type that will gain fan support, especially if he continues to provide the sort of production he did tonight.
