5. Aamir Simms has a big year

Aamir Simms, the starting sophomore forward, has a chance for a huge year this season.

Simms started off last season coming off the bench, but eventually worked his way into a starting role for several games in the season.

I’m predicting that he has a huge year this season.

Expect something like 13 points per page and around eight rebounds or so from the kid. He’s looked really good so far and I think he takes a big step forward this season.
