The Kings became NBA first team to pick a player in this regard, since Indian businessman Vivek Ranadivé purchased the team last year. Bhullar's signing specifically cited the organization's interests in marketing to India, including 20 televised games there last season, sponsorship deals, a Hindi website and a tour by the team's dancers through Mumbai. While Sim is the first player of Indian descent to sign with an NBA franchise, he represents one of many that will emerge from that region as the game continues to garner more attention and generate ever-increasing passion among a new generation of Indian fans.
The Canadian-born behemoth played a season at West Virginia's Huntington Prep the year before Andrew Wiggins arrived. In two seasons at New Mexico State, he averaged 10.2 points (60.7 True Shooting percentage), 7.2 boards and 2.9 blocks in 25.3 minutes, twice earning Western Athletic Conference Tournament MVP honors and leading the Aggies to consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
