Texas Longhorns forward Jericho Sims on Tuesday was among the prospects that participated in the Klutch Sports Pro Day from California, and the high-flyer went a bit viral after his performance.
Sims is coming off a stellar performance during the NBA draft combine last month. He produced the third-highest max vertical jump ever recorded at the event and is said to have helped his draft stock perhaps more than any other prospect.
The 6-foot-10 product put that leaping ability on full display during his Pro Day, and there is video to back it up.
During one drill, Sims went up for a dunk attempt and proceeded to throw the ball off the backboard to himself for the alley-oop. He took off perhaps a little too high and then appeared to hit his face on the rim, as captured by @MGRADS on Twitter.
Sims averaged 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots in 26 games last season.
