does anyone watch Jimmer enough to judge wether he can play pg or he is a pure sg like Jeff hornacek?

his height is a big concern to play sg in the nba, we dont need another J J Redick who always get beat on defense.
 
I doubt it. He is a classic tweener. Plays like a SG body of a PG. It's the main reason I don't want the Jazz to draft him. But hell he can shoot. If they get a 2nd lottery pick and he's still around I would not complain too much about him as the pick.
 
I'm torn on Jimmer.
Positives- Could give us a creator and a shooter. He could play a terry role for us.
Negatives- Doesn't play D, not a stand still shooter, needs the ball to dominant, not really athletic

I'm leaning to go elsewhere with the 2nd pick but wouldn't be pissed if we took him
 
Ya, because Jimmer falling to the second round is plausible...
 
It is confusing. Jazz don't have a second ROUND pick this year but likely a second LOTTERY pick.

Name one guard in the NBA that plays defense.

Actually, I'll make it easier, name one elite pg guard that plays defense.

Certainly not duron, tony parker, steve nash, rose, or westbrooke.

Anyone that is afraid of a pg's defense need look no further than Tony Parker and Steve Nash. Those guys literally couldn't slow down most of the jokes playing at golds gym let alone the NBA.

So if none of them can play defense, I guess the question has to become: Can Jimmer run a team like those guys? Can he help a team when his shot isn't falling? Can he get into the paint and finish against NBA big men?

And while you may be quick to throw defensive ability out the window, can he at least slow NBA PG's down? Are guys like Rose, Deron, Nash and Parker going to abuse Jimmer each time they face him?
