RE: Jaylen Sims
I've only seen the past 5 games or so this year. Has Sims been used as a PG more or less all season? From what I've seen in the past, I think he'd be more effective on the wing.

Sims was moved to the PG spot at the Jacksonville game. Since then, they’re 15-2 and he’s getting what he wants most nights. Also freed Phillips up to score more. Seems to be working.

That' along with moving more with the offense, playing better D(until lately) and taking less threes(until lately.) All of those changes were implemented around the same time.

I'd say PG duties are more of a 70/30 timeshare between Sims and Phillips right now. It would be closer to 60/40 if not for Shy's foul trouble issues.

With Trazarien coming out of the starting lineup of late, Sims is essentially a 1/4 hybrid right now. We'll see if the starting lineup changes going forward; I could easily see Fornes coming off the bench again on Thursday night.

Towson is too big to start Sims, Okauru, Phillips and Fornes. We'd get murdered in the post.

He was moved to PG after a tough early stretch and its been the main key to our successes since.

Sims is not really a "point guard".. I still believe that. But the change allowed Phillips to be free to be a 2 guard...that was the improvement - not Sims (whom I greatly admire) running the point. That has been the main key to or success since.

Sims needs to be on the floor. Phillips needs to be on the floor with the freedom to create, which running the point stifles. Therefore Sims is running the point. But Sims being "point guard" is not the key to our success.

Agreed. I imagine we'll see Trazarien back in the starting lineup on Thursday night, with Fornes coming off the bench.

But even if Trazarien isn't starting, he'll end up getting starter minutes.

Sims is our PG regardless of opinion and a first team All CAA performer. He has been terrific and clutch and all we have done is win. Shy, Baker and him need the other guys rolling Thursday to get the win. Keep it up Jaylen.

For most of the streak we took substantially less threes, and the offense had substantially more motion. We still struggle when we revert back to standing still and shooting too many 3's

Perhaps the correct description is he isn't a "traditional" PG. He isn't a distributor, more a ball handler bringing it up the court. The move allows us to have three guys at the top of the key who can work together, attack and set up for three's. Phillips probably has the best skills to be a traditional PG, but we needed to relieve him of PG responsibilities to maximize his offense. Sims size at PG also gives us a huge advantage on defense and the ability to create mismatches with smaller guards.

At the time it didn't make any sense, because we all have an idea of what a PG does. Siddle and crew had an out of the box concept and it's worked.

Yesterday against W&M I lost count of the times I saw 4 guys basically not moving at all, watching whoever had the ball do whatever it was he was going to do. I don't know if they were thinking the ball handler would either make a play or pass it to them - but whatever it was it sure looked like the "bad" offense from the beginning of the season.

When we started the game yesterday we were moving great without the ball and not shockingly we jumped out to a 12-6 lead. But i agree, both yesterday and throughout the streak when we have struggled the most on offense is when the movement stops.

Moving Sims to PG was a bold move, and it definitely helped create some mis-matches for sure. The staff deserves credit for that outside the box thinking. That said, for anyone to say that the move is the main reason we started winning games is foolish and short sighted. We had bigger problems, and that was a piece of the puzzle that helped steer the ship in the right direction. Now back on Topic, Sims should stay!!!! 04-cheers

Yep, need some motion even if a weave.

I saw some of this against NE and mostly when they put light ball pressure on Sims in the backcourt . He tends to get sped up by guys getting in his space and his decision is usually take it one on one . I see him bringing the ball up the court pretty shaky when they actually put a smaller guard on him and it changes the entire look of the offense . He just doesn't seem to have feel for the game as a PG like Phillips. It has worked for the most part but if I am the other team I want him to handle the ball as much as possible and I would press him everytime Phillips or Thomas are in the game .

Normally, when there is a press, the ball goes to Phillips to get it across half court.

I see him as a point forward much like John Johnson or Paul Pressey. He needs the right match up to be effective.

RE: Jaylen Sims
Jaylen has the excellent problem of either hanging around for a year and working on grad school while working on his PG skills, or going overseas (or G League) to make some money playing basketball.

He's done pretty darn well with what he's been asked to do in running this offense (don't turn it over, make the right play) but it would be really fun to see him + the team after a full offseason of him working on playing PG. I think we'd see him take another step on his shot selection and set up what would be a REALLY good team for 2022-23.

Can't fault him if he chooses to get paid, though. Getting paid to play basketball is a pretty good deal.
