I wouldn't think he's game will transfer well in the pros. I also can't see him filling any need that the Spurs have. 6'2" also, really? I thought he was a little taller.

I was wondering if he declares at all since it took that long.
reportedly he will pull out, if he can't get a 1st round promise. (which is very unlikely).
yes, he doesn't exactly fill a need for the Spurs. but if he was there for a 2nd rounder, I wouldn't hesitate to pick him.
Fredette is fantastic! they all point out how much he will struggle in the NBA and yes, he will be a liability on defense against faster players, but hey, if you can find a niche for Steve Kerr, there also will be niche for Jimmer Fredette.
and while he is as slow as Kerr was, he is much stronger and a much better play maker. and is a very smart and has a great personality.
if he can't find his place in the NBA, he definitely should have a lot of success in Europe.
