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

Just watch as he lets the opponent drive right through his area!

Please stop trying to make excuses. He is horrible defensively. No if, and, or buts.

You obviously haven't read anything in this thread. Please feel free to post after you've actually done some reading.
 
I'm about to flip a complete 180 on Jimmer. The guy has one helluva crafty stop dribble fake and his pull back is too quick for any single defender in the NCAA. Jackson Emery might be able to lock down the Jimmer, but who else?

I'm also about to flip a complete 180 on my repping Thriller policy. The guy is owning you fools. Try reading and understanding the point before one upping.

Haha... I never said I didn't like the guy on the Jazz, I'd be cool with it...let's just don't go so far as to use one of our lotto picks to get him. That's all I'm saying. If KOC can drop down a few notches out of the lottery (ie. 21-25) and pick up some other assets or money in the process and get Jimmer in that later stage in the draft, then I'd consider it a win for us! Now, if we miss the playoffs and use our 13th pick or whatever on him, just to get him so we can get more BYU fans to come to Jazz games, THEN i will consider it a fail and you can apologize to me....for something.

All kidding aside, I wouldn't mind getting him with our second pick if it stays at 14. I don't think he will be around @ 21.
As long as we get someone that can shoot..... and there aren't that many players that can shoot in this draft, that is why I wouldn't mind The Jimmer.
Would I rather have some of the more athletic, larger players... yes... but I also think Jimmer is a decent option depending on who is picked before him.

Oh, and I am sorry.... for something. Truly.

No, because you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. You even admitted that you didn't read this thread, and it shows. Please, read back a page or two to see what we're talking about.

Dude, I really don't need to read the rest of the thread to understand you're trying play down Jimmer's defensive ineptness by trying to claim that he is playing zone defense. Hokey.

Which is silly, because zone is generally easier than man for teams to play in college, and he still can't even defend correctly in it.

Don't even get me started on the fact that he has no defensive stance, turns and stares at the play rather than getting in the proper help position or moving to deny passes, and is nearly always slow and late on the zone rotations out to the perimeter. He simply lets people drive right around him, like a high school PG who doesn't understand zone.

On the offensive end, he tries to drive, but often cannot turn the corner to get to the basket even with a screen set for him. Often, he has to pull out for crazy jumpers which will go in or not, depending on the day.

The dude is a Morrison. End of story.

Oh, and, before you call me a Ute homer who needs to go take a Bball 101 class, I couldn't give an *** about college sports. They only get watched when there is no pro sports on. And it is very painful. Almost as painful as watching high school ball.

Opposed to the racist/hater "observations" of Jimmer?

He plays for BYU?
He's white?
He's Mormon?

Those 3 have all been used for reasons not to draft him. Good thing those are objective, right?

I haven't seen anyone proclaiming and guaranteeing that he's going to be the best player on earth. But I do believe he's an NBA player, which is what I was arguing before if you'd look a post or two back. He's worth a draft pick outside of the top 10.

Just because he's white doesn't mean he sucks.

Just because I'm a believer in someone that is averaging 29 points in the NCAA and is easily the best shooter in the country doesn't mean I'm a homer.

Whoa you Jimmer fans are sure defensive... unlike Jimmer.
 
I'm getting excited. Thriller's discussion about Jimmer is starting to take on aspects of his ardent pre-draft support for Jarrett Jack.

I think this means they don't kiss and tell. The BYU basketball team has always been discrete about that, unless they are kissing a girl.

I'm not so sure about the girl part. They attend the only university in America where kissing a girl is the first step on the road to getting suspended.

Exactly, so they only tell on each other when they are kissing GIRLS. Otherwise they don't tell.

Hey Logan Grad, you are fitting into the stereotype nicely.
You have an unrelenting fixation with the A...... can't get it off of your mind.

Just follow this one rule...
"My jealousy of Jimmer's name, and constant hints that he is not heterosexual is called projection."

If you follow that rule, you just might make it through this summer.

Nice guess on the name, but wrong.


Now see your love of all things Jimmer has blinded you. I am the only one not jealous/in love with Jimmer. I just call it as it is. Don't kill the messenger.




Oh and reactions from people like you make it a lot of fun too. I am nothing if not contrarian.
