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

...please elaborate on why. Honestly, if we could pick him up in the 8-15 range with the 2nd of our picks this year, I'd be ecstatic.

can shoot at the college level. might have too many other weaknesses to make it in the nba.

His name is Jimmer. Nuff said. If he just agrees to go by James as a normal grown up would, I might consider him.

Mostly because he's white, plays for BYU, and plays basketball much better than I do.

He's another SG in a PG's body ala Ronnie Price. Although his scoring ability is great, his defense is a joke.

double post

How many white guards have been worth a first round pick the last 10 years? Hell even a second round pick.

His name is definitely tight as hell, though.

The kid has range beyond 90 percent of current nba players, has the abilty to hit set shots as well as moving or off balance. He creates opportunites for himself at an impressive rate (over 60 percent of his attempts) and has a calm humble demeanor with a decent iq.

That said he is a weak defender. He doesn't have the lateral quickness to defend well. He lacks athletic leaping and movement. He is a below average passer and has has one of the worst a/t.o. ratios among draftable pgs as well as a very low pure point guard rating.

I feel he is suited perfectly for golden state or phoenix. Teams that are fast, that need range and aren't punished for faulty defense by coaching staff. He could be a serious weapon on a team like that off the bench.

His range is amazing, I'll give him that.
