Sims will open camp as one of the starters in the frontcourt, the Philly Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Sims will join Nerlens Noel as one of the youngest duos in the post to open up training camp for the 2014-15 season. Sims finished last year playing well at center for the rebuilding Sixers, after he came over in a midseason trade from the Cavaliers. With the possibility of Joel Embiid returning at some point this season, there's a chance Sims may be demoted eventually, but for now he's locked in a spot in the starting lineup and will give Noel some experience playing with another big in anticipation of Embiid's return. It's going to be a long season for Sixers' fans, as there should be plenty of growing pains along the way for these young players.
