Kings sign Aaron Brooks - Jimmer on way out?

[margodydek]

I ask, have you watched Fredette in summer league? Stats are fairly pointless in Summer League. It's stuff that isn't in the box score that's important. The little bit I've seen of him tells me he can't dribble like an NBA point guard. He has trouble bringing the ball up. He can't penetrate. He plays defense like he's still at BYU (seeing him trying to go over an off ball screen was quite telling). I've also read from people at summer league that he can make the easy play/read, but has difficulty with the tight pass/read.

He's someone to avoid for now. Jazz currently have three points guards, all of them currently better than Fredette.

I've seen two of his summer league games. The first he looked horrendous. The second he looked like the worst teammate possible. I'm wholly against getting the guy (see previous post), but I do think in the right situation he could be respectable. Our retarded fans would not help things if he came here, but I do think if he went to NY he could find a niche. I wouldn't put it past Dolan to trade for him considering he just lost Lin for nothing.

Thanks for the inspiration.

I thought this was funny from a couple of sites I found.

yewt -

A small salamander-like creature native to the American southwest. The University of Utah adopted the amphibian as its mascot in 1943. In 1967, the University changed its nickname to the Runnin' Utes, altering the spelling to take advantage of the obvious play on words.
Excerpted from the University of Utah fight song: "Croak like a yewt (ute), don't go mute"

I may have to change my sig line to include "Croak like a yewt"

That was cringe-inducing.

I hate this argument. I think people need to start really factoring in where a player ends up when trying to assess how good a player is. Kawahi looked great last year because he played for Pop who used him perfectly. I guarantee if you switched Kawahi with Jimmer (putting Jimmer in SA for his rookie season) that people would have a lot different opinions on the two players. Not saying Jimmer would have been as good as Kawahi or that Kawahi would have been as bad as Jimmer, but a lot depends on situations, not just the player's skill level.

BTW - I'm completely against going after Jimmer.

That pretty much sums up a lot of what happens in the draft. It's more important what system you're placed in versus where you get drafted.

I wonder what Burks could accomplish in a Spurs system.......

I agree...just say no to Jimmer.

BTW, it's Kawhi not Kawahi. Don't feel bad, Charles Barkley called him "Kwame" Leanard...

If the Jazz didn't have such retarded fans, then maybe we could pull this off, but I'm convinced it would not end well for all parties involved.

Thank god for retarded fans.
