While watching Cuse target Eric Ayala and Putnam play Vermont Academy today in Springfield, I got an absolute eyeful from Simi. To be honest, he was everything that Chris McCullough wanted to be when he was here for his cameo performance. At 6-10, Simi drilled a 3 with a smooth-looking shot, he converted on 5 of 7 shots from inside the arc - including some tough inside moves - and he made 8 of 10 free throws. He was without question extremely efficient and was an offensive force who also showed a surprisingly adept handle as well as court vision. One play in particular stood out: He drove the lane with a defender riding him in the paint and then kicked it to the corner to a teammate who buried the 3. I think he had 4 or 5 assists, and he also pulled down 8 rebounds. To top it off, he looks incredibly athletic; the interception of a cross-court pass he made when Putnam was pressing was a WOW moment. I'm not sure where we stand with this guy - I know we offered him a ways back - but I sure would love to have him on our team. Maybe Frances has some inside info on our chances. Hop was there, ostensibly to see Ayala, but it was damn hard to overlook this kid. My fear is that he might have such a high ceiling that he will go the way of so many others. He has the feel of a Duke or Kansas kid to me? But my fingers are crossed. Most impressive!
