I'm a HUGE Jimmer fan and have one of the worst curses I can ever imagine......I'm a non-mormon BYU.....for life. That said, Jimmer wont be much more than Eddie House in the NBA, IMO. I think He can come off the bench and spread the floor and get some spacing inside for the bigs to work. He can get his shot in the NBA, IMO, but his handle isn't that tight and will kill any penetration he'd hope to get.
On defense I think a lot of it has to do with Rose trying to save him for the offensive end but even when he's needed to help on D in critical moments he's still nothing to write home about. Maybe if he's not carrying such a huge load (quote and comment in 5...4...3...) on the offensive end in the league he can improve there but not likely.
Like I said, I love the kid but if I'm an NBA GM I see him as nothing more than a nice piece on a bench to give no more than 15 +/- mins to at the height of his career. The kid wins so he'd be a nice piece for a contending team as a pure shooter but wont ever be a star or even a starter.
