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

[jope]

if anything, i think i could see the jazz taking him with the lesser pick, to provide an "answer" to all the people demanding a shooter, and to bolster ticket sales in a future of lottery losing.

the kid can shoot, with range, we all know it.

the question is, can he do anything else?

 

[VINYLONE]

He's a novelty player that would get his *** handed to him in the NBA.

It means they're not white. Vanilla and chocolate still makes chocolate.

American-born white players are rarely even RELEVANT in the league, that cannot be in dispute. The whys or how politically correct that is, I don't know and I don't particularly care. Even though correlation does not necessarily show cause, it's one hell of a correlation.

Like Larry Bird. And John Stockton. And Jerry West. And Bob Cousy. And Pete Maravich.


Ok kidding aside, you have a point. If you stack up the list of the best white NBA players against the best NBA players of color or mixed heritage the first list would be very short by comparison.

Hey Log!

Who can stop VINYLONE?

Hell. Bro. I'm latino and I am completely stiff.

Damn it, I was giving you rep and I hit enter before finishing. I'm kind of pissed because I had something really important to say about PWI, but completely forgot.

 

[VINYLONE]

Its ok Frankie....no worries.

I think we need to revisit this Jimmer Freddette thread. Especially after this was posted.

6'2" PG. Could we use him as a SG? Why not? “Jimmer Fredette is the best scorer in the world!!” That came from Kevin Durrant. That's some love right there.

Why not bring this kid into Utah? Let him shoot for us. He couldn't be any worse than Price, and would develop his game far more quickly than CJ.

I'm certain Durrant would be thrilled by the prospect of going up against Jimmer.

If we don't take him, I'm sure Durant will talk their FO into taking him.
Why not have the best scorer in the world with the second best?

The biggest problem I have with Jimmer is going to sound bad, but it's not intended. Statistically you won't see the performance from a Caucasian as you would an African American. Meaning you are so much more likely to get a star or a good player thats black out of the draft.

If Jim wasn't playing in Provo would he get his own thread ? I wish he was playing at Iowa State.

You mean the college player of the year?

Totes man, that will be a great addition to the resume he submits overseas.

If Chris Quinn, can play in the NBA, you dont think he can?

 

[Harambe]

I'm not saying the kid WON'T be a defensive liability. But maybe he could pull a Ben Gordon? Rookie season, 6th man of the year? Our bench could use it...

Adam Morrison was co-player of the year in college and was waived by the Wizards don't you think Jimmer can do that too?

Unless I am wrong (and I am never wrong), James R. Ferdette will not make it in the NBA.

 

[NCJazz]

The inevitable Adam Morrison comparison. For one thing they play different positions.

Yes and they played at different schools. Although, they both probably haven't been laid and because of that the comparison is valid.
