Versatile UNCW wing who became a pro-ready scorer
Jaylen Sims was the kind of UNCW guard every coach loves: a long, physical 6-6 playmaker who could score, rebound, and initiate offense, and in the 2021-22 season he led the Seahawks with 16.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while helping spark a 27-9 run and CBI title. His differentiators were toughness, versatility, and steady year-over-year growth, plus the kind of big-game poise that showed up in late-season and tournament moments. He also battled adversity earlier in his college career, which makes his resilience and competitiveness part of the appeal.
