Updating an earlier story here at Sports World News, 7-Foot-5 Sim Bhullar was not taken in Thursday’s NBA Draft but he has now signed with the Sacramento Kings.
TNT's David Aldridge broke the news out in Sacramento, but it unknown what kind of role Bhullar will have with the Kings. It is assumed that Bhullar will have every chance to make the team and compete on a team that already includes the likes of DeMarcus Cousins.

ESPN’s Chad Ford didn't have Bhullar in his top 100 players of the NBA Draft and DraftExpress had him 73rd in the 60 player field. Bhullar becomes the first player of Indian decent to play in the NBA and he opens up numerous cultural doors in a league that prides itself on it’s diversity.
In his time at New Mexico State, Bhullar averaged 10.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game and was a two-time WAC Tournament MVP for the Aggies. Bhullar was also drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters on Tuesday, but now his future is in Sacramento and he will have every chance in the world to make the Kings and contribute.
