Longhorns Senior Jericho Sims Enters Name In 2021 NBA Draft Texas Longhorns senior big man Jericho Sims has entered his name into the 2021 NBA Draft Author: May 19, 2021 After weeks of deliberation following the exit of former head coach Shaka Smart and the hiring of new head coach Chris Beard, Texas Longhorns big man Jericho Sims has entered his name into the 2021 NBA Draft. Sims, who was one of the top front-court players in the Big 12 during the 2020 season, has yet to formally hire an agent, giving him the flexibility to return should he so desire. Averaging 9.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in 27 starts for the Longhorns in 2020, Sims is the fourth Longhorn to enter his name into the draft, alongside Kai Jones, Greg Brown, and Matt Coleman.
