Jimmer Fredette to the Spurs (Update: Mostly Non-Guaranteed Training Camp Deal)

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I haven't seen enough of him to know. I looked through some highlights and it is hard to tell. Seems like a decent guy that the spurs would want, but he hasn't played great. I think he is a bit of a victim of being Jimmer right now. Shooters have to shoot and he probably won't get that many chances to. He does have some skill if he could relax it seems. He has had a lot of chances in his career though. Without evidence to the contrary people wouldn't be wrong to expect him to be cut.

His best stint was when he playing with the starters. Had a couple of sweet passes to Duncan for a layup and a dunk. But he has been not so good playing with the 3rd string squad. And actually, the 3rd string unit for the Spurs has just downright sucked this preseason. Got Blown out in the 2nd half last night and nearly lost a 17 pt lead against the Piston in the 4th. And note, Jimmer didn't play in either one of those contests.

[Gladney to see you]

Looking at everyone else, his play hasn't been so bad that he couldn't play at all...Maybe, practice is just horrible.

[benefactor]

It's been good for the board. There are so many factions that can't agree on which player they like most, but they can all come together on disliking Jimmer.
:tu

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Here is a good video on Jimmer against the Kings. He played quite well against the Kings. Notice on the last play. That play was designed for Boban to pick Jimmer's man but he got caught inside of his own man. This is what I am talking about the 3rd string unit being atrocious thus far. Simple shit like this getting missed. Horrible passing. Not seeing the passing lanes. Late rotations on defense.

[Lostwingman]

There are people on here who hate him just as much if not more. I'm guessing it has more to do with college, but this whole this is just ridiculous in my view. So one fan is rabid and Jimmer infests the whole forum. As they say it takes two to fight. I find it bizarre. It did make the summer go by I admit, but Jimmer sucks in almost every thread is overkill IMO.
Dude seriously, it was a combination of a long offseason and some low hanging fruit discussion. Plus, you can't even begin to count how many people here run jokes into dirt and "The Great White Mormon" was one of them. This shouldn't be even slightly surprising.

Well I mean you can never prove jimmer wouldn't have made a difference.

" I mean he never got a chance! And despite being too small, to slow, and having failed on multiple teams, he deserves a chance. ...."


All season. Same argument, but maybe we can add..."jimmer destroying Greek league, pop idiot, call him up, waive Parker, Ray, mills"

[Ditty]

Can your wife stay, Jimmer?

[Maddog]

He shares an agent with West. Consider the 500k a finder's fee.


I really wonder how much that played into his signing.
The 500K guarantee seems a bit much for a player who A) has a remote chance and B) doesn't quite fit the type of player the Spurs bring in for a look see.
While the Spurs like shooters they usually look at people who can do more than shoot. Danny defense, Patty able to score some not great ball handling and energy
Even Austin Daye- length and rebounding.


No, I think Jimmer will be assigned to the Toros for the first part of the year, which is why his contract is guaranteed for the 1st two 1/2 months. two + months is enough to see if the guy has any shot of changing and adapting his game at this point. I can see him becoming a Steve Kerr like player for the Spurs if he really put the effort into. He is finally on a team where the coaches are noted for developing players with bad mechanics (both defense and offense) and making them viable NBA players.

Like I said in a far earlier post, if he can't be coached up by the Spurs staff, then yes, it would be obvious then, he just isn't NBA material.

I still wonder if this had something to d with the signing...

Jimmer likely did so bad in practice that the Spurs don't even care to keep him until January.

Unless, the guarantee that has been reported is entirely true or subject to making it past preseason.

Jazz aren't picking him up. If they wanted him, they could have picked him up forever ago. I image he'd try out for the Jazz before he'd try out for the Spurs. And if he can't beat out guys like Williams and Simmons, who themselves are not good enough to get regular minutes in the NBA, then he's pretty much out-of-luck. I image the Spurs cut Jimmer today as opposed to the deadline so he has time to sign with a team in Europe.

I don’t know why so many are being clownish about attacking this guy for advocating for Jimmer. Half of those dimwits that are criticizing him are the same guys that act like Simmons was the “Manu” replacement and the Boban is going to dominate on the block this year. Or, incredibly enough, that Ray McCallum should be a starting point guard. These are just as extreme, if not worse, than Spurtacular claiming that Jimmer is going to take the 15th slot on the Spurs bench.

[cd98]

Not likely. Aren't the Jazz like woefully below the cp? I don't think they have to worry about guaranteeing him a spot and if he can't make the 15th spot on the Spur roster, I just think he needs to go back to the drawing board and work on his game in Europe.

Well said.
Although, some of the denial by Jimmers' fans of his weaknesses and deficiencies in his game was entirely subjective and thus subject to some ridicule, in the world of fandom, worse blind followers abound.

Man, if you need a Mormon PR boost in SLC, then you aren't going to make it. I'd bet 70 to 80% of their fans that attend the games are Mormon. I actually think given the BYU fan base, he would be better at selling tickets in other states. In fact, I think that's part of the reason the Kings wanted him. They were having some worries about being able to sell tickets and they wanted to bring in a big college name and attact that BYU fan base that is all over California. Even the Spurs ticket office said they were getting group requests from all the BYU/Jimmer fans.

Yea, I'm sure we'll all be broken up over it when Jimmer is getting cut in China (no shortage of short, slow, shooters there) and McCallum is still just a third string that's costing us peanuts. If our season makes or breaks on a third string PG we were doomed anyway. At least McCallum can play defense though.

No, not even close. There have been so many busts drafted in the top 3. Also, that draft was universally considered a low talent draft that year. Of course it has yielded some good players. And you can play the "you drafted him over him" game every year. Don't forget that Manu was the last pick of the second round the year he was drafted. And judging by the pre-draft selections that fans on this board lament our front office didn't make, all I can say is, the fans get it wrong at a much higher rate.

People were too keen to make excuses for him. I don't exactly take the article as gospel truth (Fredette looked like he tried to be a PG with the Pelicans for example), but the portrait of Jimmer that it paints was in line with my assumptions. The dude is an Anti-Green. His shot is broken because he WON'T fix it, not because he can't. Dude had a role-player (at best) skill-set but a superstar mentality. Not nearly the first guy in pro sports to have his career end because of that.

Yes, he had the same cocking the ball all the way to your shoulder like Kawhi did coming out of college. You're going to get block of ton in the NBA doing that. He never tried to change it until this year.

Having a mentality that you a superstar when you are no more than solid bench player will kill anyone's career.

And you act like the roster got betterBy getting rid of Jimmer?

Meh, can't say it got any worse.

[Spurtacular]

Yea, I'm sure we'll all be broken up over it when Jimmer is getting cut in China (no shortage of short, slow, shooters there) and McCallum is still just a third string that's costing us peanuts. If our season makes or breaks on a third string PG we were doomed anyway. At least McCallum can play defense though.


:lmao

No, he can't. McCallum's defense sucks balls.

Jimmer wouldn't be so slow on defense if you weren't hanging on his nuts.

Jimmer played good Defense in his last game with us. Good help defense.

[benefactor]

The fact that Pop didn't even bother to play him the last couple of games speaks volumes. It basically confirms a lot of what has been said about Jimmer simply being less talented than he perceives himself to be.

Tebow complex, tbh.

[Gladney to see you]

I know I'm in the minority but I don't agree...I think he is pretty good OR can be. That being said, he is gone and I don't really give a flip other than getting this thread to its needed goal.

Tebow complex, tbh.

Not really. It's business. If Jimmer gets injured, they have to keep him on the roster since his contract was guaranteed through mid-January. I honestly believe its Simmons and Williams play or lack thereof that did Jimmer in. Spurs already have Mills and Jimmer would just be another prototype 2 guard/PG like Patty.

People forget the Spurs developed Mills for two years before he started to show something of worth.

The fact that the Spurs signed another SF just shows you where their concern is. I think the FO as many here believed that Simmons was ready to take the backup spot as a SF/SG combo. But it was painfully obvious this preseason, he is not ready. So the Spurs had to let Jimmer go because they don't have the Luxury to develop Jimmer at this point, which I noted in one of my first posts in this thread (Jimmer being a luxury pickup to develop). Jimmer played really good D this preseason and his shot release was much quicker, yet less accurate, but a sign that he was altering his shot (which takes time).

I don't think Pop was trying to appease anyone w/ his statement. He was stating facts, and the fact of the matter is the Spurs have a more pressing need at SF than SG/PG combo as Mills was playing lights out most of the preseason.

[Chinook]

I think he is pretty good OR can be.

You're right that I don't even slightly agree with you. But I'm setting that aside for the moment. There's a huge gap being having the potential to be good and actually being good. Getting from the former to the latter requires hard work, determination and the ability to honestly evaluate your skills and to know what you need to improve. Jimmer doesn't seem to have that. If he's not willing to work on his game, then he's NOT good enough. No one is good enough in college to be a rotation NBA player without improvement.

[Chinook]

Not really. It's business. If Jimmer gets injured, they have to keep him on the roster since his contract was guaranteed through mid-January.

That's ... that's just not a logical deduction at all. Jimmer gets paid no matter what. The Spurs didn't have to keep him on the roster if he got hurt.

And the roster had nothing to do with it. The Spurs have like five players who can and will play the three at some point this year. They didn't desperately NEED a sixth. If Jimmer truly believes he got pushed off the roster and not just flat-out cut, I feel sorry for him. The Spurs played almost everyone over Jimmer all pre-season. They just didn't want him on the team.

If Jimmer truly believes he got pushed off the roster and not just flat-out cut, I feel sorry for him. The Spurs played almost everyone over Jimmer all pre-season. They just didn't want him on the team.

Let's explore the 5 players to play the 3.

Kawhi. Will get most of the minutes. But he is prone to injuries that will keep him out at least 10 games.

Manu. He is getting up there and will receive reduce minutes and might even miss quite a few games.

KA. Not quick enough to guard quick SF and is more of a situational SF at this point.

Green. Hardly ever plays the 3. He usually plays the 2 and sometimes the 1 position on defense.

Simmons. After his preseason play, he has shown he is not ready. Hasn't even played a minute in the NBA regular season.

So of those 5 players, Manu is 2, Green is a 2. KA is a 3/4 position player, who is too slow to guard the more athletic 3's in the league. Would you really want him to guard someone like James/Durant, etc. Guy had trouble guarding Rudy Gay.

That makes Kawhi the only true SF on this team. Maybe you forgot how much the Spurs struggled at the 3 position when Kawhi was out last year, and Diaw, Green, Manu and KA were all on the roster and playing minutes at the position. You say its flawed logic YET history would say otherwise. Simmons was suppose to be the guy to take on the reins as the backup 3 and he has shown he isn't ready.

That 6th Guy, as you put it, which possibly is going to be Butler, would be the only guy on the team that is a true SF. Being that the last two guys the Spurs didn't cut were SF and they recently signed another SF (which is probably for Austin) tells me that they see this position as a point of emphasis this season. And it was the Spurs biggest weakness last year, the backup SF position (apart from Parker hobbling around late in the season).

People forget how much this team struggled without Kawhi and how much the bench struggled last year as well w/o Beli. W/O Beli, who is going to play the 2 when Manu plays the 3. Backup SF position took a big hit when the Spurs lost Beli as well this offseason as the Spurs really don't have a reliable backup 2 outside of Manu at this point. Simmons was suppose to be that new combo G/F on the Spurs roster and he looked promising after his SL showing.

Pop comments is what makes me believe I am right along with the Spurs holding on to two SF and signing another this week. Spurs just don't have the luxury for someone like Jimmer now as they need a true SF, which they will have if Butler makes the team. Simmons just downgraded himself from potential backup to still a project player himself after his Preseason play.

[benefactor]

^Occam's razor.

Jimmer just isn't good enough/unwilling to make the adjustments needed to play in the NBA.

[Chinook]

Let's explore the 5 players to play the 3.

Kawhi. Will get most of the minutes. But he is prone to injuries that will keep him out at least 10 games.

Not gonna argue.


Manu. He is getting up there and will receive reduce minutes and might even miss quite a few games.

Yeah, he'll get 16-20 mpg, which is more than enough to help out there.


KA. Not quick enough to guard quick SF and is more of a situational SF at this point.

Just as quick as Butler and a better overall defender than Williams. Started at SF when Kawhi was out last year and is definitely going to get the bulk of non-Leonard minutes there.


Green. Hardly ever plays the 3. He usually plays the 2 and sometimes the 1 position on defense.

This is just wrong. For his career, Danny has played about a third of minutes at SF (35%). Last year, he played 43 percent of his minutes there, including many starts over the last two years. Danny, like Kawhi, guards whoever he needs to, but that includes a LOT of SFs. He checked Durant for most of the 2014 WCF. And he puts up better defensive numbers at the three than he does the two.


Simmons. After his preseason play, he has shown he is not ready. Hasn't even played a minute in the NBA regular season.

For a fifth option, he's not that bad. If he can't hold down that spot, he'll be cut. There's no reason to keep him around if he can't do that much.


So of those 5 players, Manu is 2, Green is a 2. KA is a 3/4 position player, who is too slow to guard the more athletic 3's in the league. Would you really want him to guard someone like James/Durant, etc. Guy had trouble guarding Rudy Gay.

Manu and Green have and will continue to check bigger players. Danny turned in an elite performance against Durant. There's certainly no way Pop's going to go, "Danny can't check this dude, but Reggie Williams can."


That makes Kawhi the only true SF on this team. Maybe you forgot how much the Spurs struggled at the 3 position when Kawhi was out last year, and Diaw, Green, Manu and KA were all on the roster and playing minutes at the position.

They didn't struggle at SF at all. Green's numbers exploded when he played the three. Dude was a fantasy darling. The problem wasn't the SF spot; it was the overall talent drop from Green/Leonard to Green/Anderson or Beli/Green, not to mention how weak the bench was with the lineups altered.


You say its flawed logic

Yes, your assertion that Jimmer was not played because the Spurs didn't want him to get hurt was terrible, terrible logic.

Dude, the whole point is that Williams isn't a three anymore than Jimmer is. So you're assertion that Jimmer was cut because the Spurs wanted to go with more SF depth is weak, and the idea that Jimmer didn't even PLAY wasn't because Pop didn't like his performance is even weaker.

[AFBlue]

The fact that Pop didn't even bother to play him the last couple of games speaks volumes. It basically confirms a lot of what has been said about Jimmer simply being less talented than he perceives himself to be.

Tebow complex, tbh.

I don't think his lack of play is an indicator of his attitude or false sense of self. He never said or implied that he didn't get a fair shake, which would've supported your assertion. It simply reflects the fact that he didn't make a strong enough case to warrant PT based on his practice time. No need to assassinate the kid's character because he isn't good enough to make the team. No doubt he would've been a model Spurs player on and off the court if he'd shown enough production or potential in his time with the team.

Wherever the kid ends up, I hope he's successful. As long as it's not against the Spurs.

[AFBlue]

^Occam's razor.

Jimmer just isn't good enough/unwilling to make the adjustments needed to play in the NBA.

Inappropriate use of the "/" tbqh. He could be willing to make adjustments and still not be good enough to make the Spurs.

[Chinook]

Inappropriate use of the "/" tbqh. He could be willing to make adjustments and still not be good enough to make the Spurs.

Yes, it's true that Jimmer may just not be good enough. However, the comments about Jimmer's attitude come from a Yahoo article posted a few pages back. That's why Benefactor and I are talking about his willingness to adjust rather than just his ability.

[Gladney to see you]

I can only go by what I saw. And he looked better than what I saw the last two games from a lot of the other guys. I like what he can do on a pick and roll. I like that he pushed the pace and I think it is a nice change of pace from the starters. He isn't allowed to go 1-9 over 2 games like some players though. But, alas, it really is insignificant if he is not on this team. He is an afterthought.

I do like who we just picked up. I'd much rather work with a guy who has the physical tools than not. It is different though if he doesn't work out because he isn't Jimmer. I think at a certain point all that worked for you comes crashing down on you. Hence, the article...which has a whole lotta sour grapes sound to me.

I'm also, not of the mind that if Jimmer can't make it here he can in a foreign country. I think if it don't work it don't work for him.

Getting closer to the goal. Game 1 is cut-off.

[Chinook]

I'm also, not of the mind that if Jimmer can't make it here he can in a foreign country. I think if it don't work it don't work for him.

If he really does have attitude problems, I don't think he'll be picked up by the best Euro teams. But as far as skill-set goes, he should be fine. Talent level is everything. Jimmer should be able to get his shot off more easily against shorter and slower players. His handles will be pretty decent for a PG. He might be able to dominate the ball on certain teams, and his defense shouldn't be as big of an issue.

[Boomersgold]

Don't really know much about the D-league, but can Jimmer still play for Austin?

[ChumpDumper]

Don't really know much about the D-league, but can Jimmer still play for Austin?I think it's possible, but maybe unlikely. The Spurs can allocate four camp players to Austin; Ndoye, Sykes and Washburn seem to be locks for allocation. If Thomas is going to play in the D-League, the Spurs own his D-League rights. If Thomas goes back to Europe, it looks like Jimmer could choose to either be allocated or enter the D-League draft. There could be some arcane rule that renders this all moot, but this is my current understanding.

[Spurtacular]

Jimmer played good Defense in his last game with us. Good help defense.

Jimmer's defense and McCallum's are about the same; that's how bad a defender McCallum is, tbh.

Miller served as an assistant for the Spurs’ D-League affiliate, the Austin Spurs, from 2013 to 2015.
Fredette, who spent the preseason and training camp with the San Antonio Spurs, appears to have received a glowing recommendation, thus leading to Allan Houston (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/houstal01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-dailyknicks.com)‘s decision to bring him to Westchester.

[Spurtacular]

Apparently, Jimmer and the Knicks had talks before the D-League draft; and the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster. This may explain why he didn't bolt for Europe like I figured he would. Jimmer also mentioned phone calls from other organizations and that he had turned down Euro offers.

http://nypost.com/2015/11/02/jimmer-fredette-has-his-eyes-on-knicks-15th-roster-spot/


Jimmer Fredette, the new point guard for the Westchester Knicks of the D-League, has his eyes on the Garden.
The sharpshooter out of upstate Glens Falls said he entered the D-League draft with the idea of the Knicks affiliate taking him and adding him as their 15th man later this season.
“That was kind of the plan,’’ Fredette said Monday on a conference call. “We talked to them beforehand and we hoped to make it work so I’d be drafted by the Knicks....


Jimmer's thoughts on the triangle offense...


“Every player in the triangle can play a different position on every possession,” Fredette said. “They don’t try to get caught up with who the point guard or shooting guard is. It’s just guards who can score and handle the ball and shoot and be a smart player to run it. I think that plays into my game. I can shoot the ball and handle it from different positions on the court. I think I can be successful in it.’’

The Knicks had no interest in signing Fredette to an NBA contract when he got waived, but got intrigued when San Antonio passed on his D-League rights. Westchester GM Allan Houston feels Fredette can be a fan magnet initially and perhaps light it up in the team’s triangle offense.

If he signs with the Knicks, wouldn't that save the Spurs some money?He was drafted by the Westchester Knicks after every NBA team passed on picking up his partially guaranteed contract. He got all the money the Spurs guaranteed him.

You don't get to set-off money that's less than the min.

God, so SA rejected him for the d-league. I mean, I would have chosen Thomas over Fredette too, but they specifically went out and signed Washburn to fill that fourth spot.

This is why I love the Spurs; they did the City of Austin a solid by keeping him away from the Toros.

Hack analysis.

Spurs would have kept Jimmer if he wanted to toil away in the d-league til a spot opened. Rather, they allowed him to pursue teams with openings on their rosters.

Why are you obsessed with this particular player? I never saw what all the fuss was about.

Meh, carry on then. Keep up the good fight. I suspect Chump will wear you down.

He'll certainly try. :lol

Then the Spurs didn't need to keep him. In fact, they could let him get more minutes if elsewhere if they're loaded in the backcourt as you claim.

But they didn't want him just like no other NBA team wanted him.

Nice! Hope Jimmer makes it back to the NBA and lights up SA when they play the Knicks :lol

We've established that your opening statement is not at all a statement of fact. And the Knicks clearly want Jimmer.

I don't blame the Spurs for making their decision; and I doubt Jimmer does. I wish they would have given him more run to really show what he could do. Playing Parker big preseason minutes coming off of international competish didn't make sense to me.

[ChumpDumper]

We've established that your opening statement is not at all a statement of fact.He certainly wasn't kept by the Spurs in any way.
And the Knicks clearly want Jimmer.No, the New York Knicks clearly do not want Jimmer since they passed on picking up his contract for their open roster spot.

Just like every NBA team passed on taking it.

You'll just have to accept that fact.

Well, if you looked at the article, there is a spot for the taking; and the Knicks used their first round pick on him for a reason. The Knicks apparently want to allow Jimmer to learn their system in the d-league first.

The Knicks apparently want to allow Jimmer to learn their system in the d-league first.I did look at the article. They didn't care enough to sign him to the 15th spot. They could've easily done that and assigned him if they were that intent on having him reserved for the NBA team. It's just as easy to say they want to sell some seats in the suburbs. The Austin Spurs did it quite a bit.

You may recall that I said that this could be about ticket sales and TV ratings just as much as anything. But I don't think that the 15th spot isn't up for grabs and that Jimmer doesn't have a realistic shot to get it.

It could be filled by any free agent or D-League player. You just proved it isn't reserved for Jimmer.

I never said it was reserved. But you have Jimmer talking about how it is "planned." I don't think he's that make that up. That does mean that it could be contingent upon his play for Westchester though.

Apparently, Jimmer and the Knicks had talks before the D-League draft; and the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster.

It's good that you're walking back now though.

And your lack of comprehension. What's your point?

[ChumpDumper]

And your lack of comprehension. What's your point?You went from "clearly want[ing] Jimmer" and "the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster" to conceding that the open spot could go to any free agent or D-League player and that Jimmer's drafting could just be to sell tickets.

It's OK. You got it right eventually.
