For those of you who don't like Jimmer...

I think the best case scenario for Jimmer is like a Nick Van Exel when he played for Dallas. A 6th man type role who can score and create offense off the bench. He would be fun to watch that is for sure. If the Jazz pick him up with their own pick (if we dont make the playoffs) between about 12-16 I would not be against it.

I think Fredette can start for a lot of teams. I think he'd be better than half the PGs in the league. He'd actually be a decent passer if he had anyone to pass to. If I'm Mike D'Antoni, I'd try to get Fredette. You can't teach IQ and effort, and Fredette has both. No way he can't pick and roll at an NBA level. He's a real shooter who can also create.
 
Ok, here's a mildly controversial statement: No doubt that Chauncey Billups became an elite defensive player, but on offense I think Jimmer can do everything Chauncey Billups can do at the pro level, and their offensive games look similar to me. I also think Fredette's career as a PG could be at least as good as Mike Bibby's. I could see Jimmer get drafted in the 9 - 12 range.
 
Jimmer is pretty likable so if the Jazz drafted him (with their second pick) it would be fun to cheer for him. More fun than cheering for DW. Don't get me wrong - Deron is a great player, but I hate to play with guys like that. Y'know, guys that get so pissed off all the time at all their teammates. It's more fun to cheer for someone like Jimmer.

Even though Stock didn't win a ring he was so much fun to pull for. It's more fun to love your players than to win with guys like Kobe.
...I imagine. -- I guess I wouldn't know.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing him with the 2nd Jazz pick. If he panned out to be a Reddick sort of player that wouldn't be bad.
 
I'd like it if we could draft Jimmer with like our 12th pick in the Draft. The team obviously needs someone with cahones. I just bet he's picked up before then, especially in this weak draft

at least he could provide some excitement. the jazz of late seem so listless and dull.
 
I liked the defense at about :38 seconds. Vintage matador D.

haha yeah, it actually kinda reminded me of deron's d... except the kid scores 52 points without spending half the night at the foul line.

1 for 1 ft on a 52 pt night means almost every single point he scored was from him creating offense and scoring with defenders targeting him. dude is instant offense, instant matador defense.
 
I'm a Jazz fan first and a Ute fan second. Bring on the Jimmer.



(but seriously the MTN is staffed by almost entirely Coug homers)

Most of those shots are ridiculous. Forget the microwave. Dude is the ****ing Nuclear Reactor. 10 guys in the NBA have a better offensive game, size and position considered.
 
Ray allen has least 3 inches on jimmer and reggie 6. Plus they were both better athletes then jimmer. Jimmer is one of those college guys who has a great 4 years but isnt an nba player. Will he get drafted and get a contract or 2? Ya well adam morrison somehow keeps gettinfg signed. Nba gms are all wanting the next white hype but jimmer is just to short and playes no defense. Hows he going guard dwill,rose,paul,westbrooke,Brndon Jennings, Wall,on and on? He is not even a 6th man try maybe 11th off bench coyuld come in when you need a shot but his ball handling not good. He will get ripped everytime by the staRTING PGS

Ummm..

Who actually can guard dwill, rose, paul, westbrooke, brndon jennings, wall, on and on?

Please, name me 5 lockdown defensive PGs that can shut the above down.

Dude, get a clue.

No one plays defense in the NBA anymore.

Especially defense against perimeter players. The new rules have made guys like Parker, Jennings, Rose, etc unguardable. Any touch is a foul. And if you don't touch, it's an instant blowby. No human can stay in front of those players one on one.

I have to agree.
 
If the Jazz are going to build around Jefferson, they don't need a PG with elite handles like DWill. All Jimmer needs to do is bring the ball up the court, look for open guys, if not hit Al in the post. Jimmer then becomes more or less a SG where he camps behind the 3 point line to space the floor for Al. That is pretty much as advanced as offense you can have if you want to build around Al, whether we should build around him is another topic entirely.

Noone but all those pgs would have career days against jimmer

Opposing pg's already do. Harris gets blown by every possesion. So did dwill. The difference is jimmer could drop 40 any given night, where with with either of those dudes if 40 happens its an anomaly.
