Jazz's Henry Sims: Signs contract with Jazz

Sims signed a training camp contract with the Jazz on Thursday.

Analysis:

After getting cut by the Suns in training camp last season, Sims languished in the D-League before landing a pair of 10-day contracts with the Nets in March and then signing with the team for the rest of the season. In his 14 games with the Nets, Sims averaged 6.5 points (on 42.9% shooting from the field), 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 block over 18.8 minutes per game. His deal with the Jazz is likely non-guaranteed, so Sims' chances of beating out Jeff Withey for a roster spot out of training camp aren't strong. Look for the veteran big man out of Georgetown to head back to the D-League in the event he gets cut by the Jazz.
