If Juan Jose Barea can play and get minutes for a winning team in the NBA, then so can Jimmer.
For those of you who don't like Jimmer...

- Start date
If Juan Jose Barea can play and get minutes for a winning team in the NBA, then so can Jimmer.
Correction, only the top 8 teams in the league need more than that.
Most teams do not require their players to play more than the token defense if they can shoot.
If Jimmer is to be an all-star, or starter he should be able to play some defense.
To make a team, he just needs to be able to make some shots.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Barea is freakishly quick, that his bankable skill. Jimmer does not have a bankable skill. Ineffecient volume scoring is not a bankable skill, we know that from Sir Chucker J Smiles.

scoring numbers from some reputable scorers in final college season
Jimmer 45.5%-FG 40.4%-3Pt 1.43 Points per shot
Deron 43.3%-FG 36.4%-3pt 1.19 Points per shot
carmello 45.3%-FG 33.7%-3pt 1.27 Points per shot
Wade 49.9%-FG 33.3%-3pt 1.40 Points per shot.
he's far from inefficient
hell, the dude is in the top ten in PER (#7 (30.53))
there are plenty of knocks on him but efficiency isnt really one of em.

It doesn't matter where they are from.
What matters is if they are the best available player at the time, or if they add something to your team you need.

It's amazing how many people base (all) their opinions on race and religion. I have a feeling that had Jimmer been born with a darker skin pigment and played at a public school many of his critics would would be his biggest fans right now.
If the dude is the BPA when we draft, take him.

Well for the most part, statistically speaking, black players are usually faster than white players. So yes, in a sense, you are correct.

Jimmer is also a senior, if you compare his last three years to any of the above they will pale in comparison. He is a decent pick but if the second pick is as high as #12 think Burks or Leonard would be better choices.
Burks or Leonard wouldn't be bad picks either, but so what if Jimmer is a senior?
That makes no difference, if they are going into the same draft it doesn't matter... it's all about what can you do now.
I guess you may be inferring that the non seniors would automatically improve their shooting percentages and that there is no chance they would decrease? There are many players that their percentages drop in later years, and their stock drops as well.
Jacob Pullen just this year was a pre-season all-american and he fell off the map because of his lack of production and drop in shooting percentages, and he is a senior.
I see what you are saying, but I don't agree.
