Aamir Simms (PF)

[Matrim55]

Four-star PF out of Virginia, supposed to be a Georgetown lean. I've seen him ranked anywhere from 60th to 120th.

Killings just followed him within the last couple of days:

Highlights here:



Looks a lot like Diarra in terms of style -- just bangs below the rim and eats up rebounds (which jibes with the scouting reports I've read). Never wrong to have one or two guys like that on the team, but it'd be at least a little bit weird to land them in back-to-back classes IMO.

Thanks @Matrim55 . For kicks I looked him up on verbal commits. He holds offers from ND, Pitt, Prov, Iowa State, SMU, Cinci etc. Looking at the video you posted his game does look very similar to Diarra's as you say. Really nice rebounder it looks like. He also looks like a willing defender. It never hurts to have an extra banger at the 4. We've been missing that the last few years.

"Simms participated in the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville last week. His 8.7 rebound-per-game average was good enough to lead the event. Aamir also swatted 2 shots per game, which placed him fourth among his peers."
