Jazz Draft Pick for Next Year

"It's like playing at Gold's Gym or the YMCA for youth. Terrible." Let's see Jack Sikma, Pippen, Rodman, Baylor and Watts. They were all pretty good NBA players in their day. I think all made the all star game and a few NBA championships as well.

The youngest of those who you mentioned is in his mid-40's. Can you name someone more recent than any of those players?

Kinda like Ronnie Price with a better shot but less hops. To undersized to be a shooting guard and to shot happy to be a PG. Wont be able to stay in front of quicker guards but is build and well bang with the bigger ones.

He's crafty, but not very athletic.
He will probably be in the NBA, but as a bench player.
He is not a good enough passer, and is a PG in size, but a SG in his mind.
Defensively he would have trouble in the NBA.... so he would have to be great or good offensively to make up for it.
He is smart... so I could see him learning to play a bit better defensively... but he's never going to get faster.

He can really shoot though... many of his 3's are well beyond the College, and NBA line.

Just my take.
 
Jimmer is not like Ronnie Price at all other than he's probably not a starting NBA point. I think JJ Redick is the better comparison (not because of skin color for all you who just had that thought run through your head). On the college level, he is like JJ in that he carries his team, lights out shooter, can drive, dish and control the tempo of the game. Ronnie P plays good man to man D, Jimmer is not fast enough and that's why he will probably not start in the NBA. I think he would be a great point off the bench for a UT or SA type team.

Why don't we just pick Jimmer Fredette while we are at it.
He should be available in the later portion of the 1st round.

Not out of the realm of possibility. He can score as we know. Both our backup PGs will be free agents. Could do worse at the end of the first round. Did MN get our first rounder next year though?

I agree with you j b. I just used Price because he was a Jazz player that has some of the same limitations that Jimmer has when is comes to size and being a high scoring guy in collage.

I have no problem accepting that somebody that puts up good stats might be good on a lower level. If it's Stock's boy though, we want him to pump up those assist numbers a little more.

By that same token, LHM ****ing cheaped out on Stock and this franchise could get away with drafting his son in the 2nd round as a pure favor considering how bad I think the upcoming draft will be because of the looming lockout (why would an underclassman declare in such a situation unless they're stupid?).

That was one hell of a run-on sentence. Oh well.
