Sima spent the past few years playing for BAXI Manresa and became a Spanish national team member.

Spanish outlet Encestando had first reported about Venezia's interest for Sima. 

During this offseason, Venezia already made some important additions to the roster, including Jayson Granger, Allerik Freeman, and Derek Willis.

With major teams like Valencia, Partizan Belgrade, and Virtus Bologna having moved to EuroLeague, this season, Venezia becomes one of the top candidates for the EuroCup title.
