How can I take what this guy said seriously after reading that....

Edit: I meant Jim Burton, not the OP.

 

[NAOS]

where the hell are the mods?

 

[NCJazz]

Just want to get all the Jimmer threads at the top!

 

[NUMBERICA]

Jim Burton is funny.

I'm starting to dread they're going to draft him 3rd. If they do, he had better be Steve ****ing Nash.

Jimmer is NOT going to be there at 12. I just don't think he is. I really want him on the Jazz. Maybe the Jazz think they can get Tristan Thompson or Singleton at 12 and they are happy with one of those two and Jimmer.

Or, maybe they trade down a few slots and take Jimmer. I honestly don't see how any team can draft Kemba before Jimmer. But, I do think it is going to happen.

I like this post...

If Kemba goes before Jimmer, then Jimmer almost certainly WILL be there at 12. Or so it seems to me.

Any news on Jimmer?

Workouts. Doesnt suck like many on this board think. That is about all.

 

[Jazz Traveler]

lol@Jim Burton

Some excellent stuff in there.

 

[salo]

Starting to sound like Jimmer could easily go top 5.

I'm sure the mavs-heat finals series has helped his stocks by highlighting the importance of dependable outside shooting.

Still don't think we should take him at 3. Gotta take BPA.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

This time tomorrow, we'll be raving about Brandon Knight...... probably.

Agreed, but I still take Kanter and hope either Jimmer or Walker our there at 12

 

[Favors Flave]

Whose this Jimmer guy again?

 

[BENTLEY]

I hope so - gotta have something new to drown out all this Jimmer love down if we want him (Fredette) to last til 12.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Whose this Jimmer guy again?

Some kind of superhero I think.
