Parents: Mel & Margaret Sims
Birthday: April 18, 1997

2023-24: Starting all but one game for the second straight year, Sims had another great year for the Blue and Gold. Integral to the Lions' defense, Sims saw his steal and block total increase. Sims shot just shy of 48% from the field, and he improved from distance with that mark climbing to 34% to the tune of 8.4ppg. That scoring was especially on display from January 13th to February 8th, where he scored in double-figures for a stretch of six of seven games. That stretch was capped off with a season-high (and Lions career-high) 17 points at Menlo. Sims had seven boards twice this past season, with the first instance coming at Life Pacific. Sims set a season-high in minutes (39) in the overtime loss at home against Hope International.
