Kings acquire Sim Bhullar, the first Indian origin player to play in the league. He is a 7-5 center weighing 360 pounds. NBA keeps trying to reach more market grounds. Indian effort will be another type of Chinese effort I believe. I wish the guy luck.
 
That guy is HUGE!

Edit: I wish him the best. He looks really promising.
 
bigger, slower Ostertag at best. JV killed him in U-19 world championship despite huge size difference. Doubt he will play any meaningful minutes unless he gets in better shape.
 
i thought kings owner was an indian? I remember seeing an indian girl at the draft lottery. This move kinda makes sense

This guy is not one of the usual stiffs or uncoordinated giants. He has the bbiq, pretty decent skills and fundamentals and one of the softest touches I've ever seen. He can be very useful even if he manages to get his condition close to the average of big men.
 
I have never seen such a slow player for a long time. I love his touch despite the size he has, but he just does not leap at all and both running straights and turn arounds are considerably slow. This might affect him too much in an arena like NBA where pace and speed is pretty much one of the most important things for players to keep up with the game and find themselves some decent PT.
 
Watch Dwight Powell for one thing, he is 6-10 and compare him one on one against the Bhullar giant. I see a lot of advange to DP's side.

I always thought Dhalism would make a good NBA player.

I've noticed some more Indian faces in the college ranks too. SLCC had one few years ago, Sai Tummala, who is at Arizona State now. But he's America. I don't think there has been an actual Indian born player in the NCAA even yet.

He is slow, very slow but I think it's also a visual result of his size. He actually doesn't look that slow in in-game videos.

Btw, apparently he also has an 18 year old 7'3" brother playing hoops too.

Sim looks clearly like the best of the two. I don't understand their body types though. If either one of them would the gym hardcore and muscled up, it would probably be shocking how good they actually could be.
 
He has all of a 3 cm vertical.

He also has Eaton-itis...the need to hold the ball below waste level to lumber that extra step to the hoop.
