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

[Mikeanaro]

Lets take this bitch up to 200 pages...

[Chinook]

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.

I'm pretty sure if the Spurs liked Jimmer at all, he'd be in Austin. They literally chose not to have him. The way the Toros' roster is shaping up, he would have been a fit. They just didn't want him.

Interesting. He's going to play. It'll be nice to see him get more playing time to show the world how "good" he is.

[SAGirl]

He caught a break because Gentry likes the 3. It's his chance to be shooting. I don't like him personally, he didn't show anything while he was here, but I wish him the best and maybe he can help the Pelicans, they are in deep trouble at this point. Not that Jimmer is going to save them, but if there was ever a time to be shooting the 3 well to revive his career, this is probably it.

[cd98]

Obviously, he is a fringe NBA player. But given Spurs history, he's the kind of player that we will be below average until he plays the Spurs and lights them up.

[Spurtacular]

You've given up, I take it.

Not really. But I was really speaking to your jaded take on this matter. I wish you well all the same.

That's sort of out of leftfield. Goes to show that Jimmer did make a good impression in NOL despite some of his struggles (and despite one former anonymous coach taking his pot shots). I said all along that Monty was jerking him around a bit.

[Spurtacular]

663753353130848259

Haven't we seen this before?

I have mixed feelings about this. Not sure that NOL is the best fit; and I was looking forward to seeing Jimmer play as a Knickerbocker at MSG in a homecoming. But Jimmer's record of playing in zero d-league games still stands at least.

[spursgu]

Good for him. He's not on our team.

Can we lock this as he ain't a Spur no more? MODs/chump!!

Just stating the fact.

Just stating the fact.So following that logic, they shouldn't play Jimmer ever until they are up by 27 in the fourth. Otherwise, they'll lose.

[Chinook]

Honest question, Spurtacular: When did you decide to give up the ghost and stop actually defending Jimmer? At this point, it's clear you don't care about him any more than the rest of us. In many ways, you're just doing what you have to to get us to 2971 posts. I'm just wondering when that change happened, and what sparked it.

[HarlemHeat37]

SpursTalk is known across the Internet's NBA world for racism, rampant trolling, spam, meltdowns, hating and shit-talking, personal attacks, etc, but this thread being on the verge of reaching 100 pages is the most embarrassing thing in the history of this forum IMO..

I'm still a fan; but I have no interest in taking Jimmer slights personally. And in some cases, the criticisms are valid. I suppose the fact that I'm not fighting for Jimmer in the realm of a Spurs system contributes as well.

And yet if Simmons had done this Spurstalk would wet itself.

[lmbebo]

wish he could learn to play off of the ball and get away from the mentality that he is going to be the "guy" on an nba team.

[ceperez]

And yet if Simmons had done this Spurstalk would wet itself.

No, nobody noticed or knew who Simmons was even after scoring 20 points or more in 11 outings in the D-league last year. 3 of those where 29 points or more.

[Darius Bieber]

Too good for D-League, too bad for NBA. Kinda like how Jeremy Lin was.

[Dex]

wish he could learn to play off of the ball and get away from the mentality that he is going to be the "guy" on an nba team.

It's the only way he knows how to play. Look at the highlights of those 37 points...not a single basket was assisted. It's like every time he gets the ball, he goes into "one-man wrecking crew" mode.

It's like the "pass" button on his controller is broken. That kind of game won't work on 98% of NBA teams. It's no wonder the Spurs didn't want to keep the guy.

[Chinook]

Jimmer's passing isn't his issue. He's a fine d-league PG. His shooting is the problem, and anyone who disagrees is frankly clueless at this point.

[Nathan89]

Vs the d-league he can get to the rim as shown in that video. That allows him have the ball in his hands to create his own threes when he wants.

[Destro]

This thread is getting to 100. It's a form of Manifest Destiny.

[FkLA]

Those were actually really tough lay-ups and shots that he was making. It's not like he was blowing past guys or getting his shot off easily. That approach will never work against superior NBA talent...needs to focus on simply being a spot-up shooter.

Really don't matter what he can do or does, it is all about whether he has gotten over himself. I doubt it, so he'll never be a Spur.

[rasuo214]

If he really wants to play in the NBA he needs to display that he's a reliable spot up 3P shooter (40+%). His 1 man performances just won't work in the NBA but it's great if he wants to just live off of Jimmer Mania on some overseas team.

Spurs lost because they can't score in the paint in the clutch, or hit FTs. Spurs need a scorer. Maybe Jimmer isn't the answer, but neither is a KL turnaround airball three.

2) Jimmer becomes a clutch time player for an NBA title competitor.

No one said Jimmer would become a clutch player for a title team. What kind of "intelligent" player or "finals MVP" or "max player" Throws up a turnaround three with 5 seconds to go?

But based on the choices and really no where to go for KL but up, I choose 1. Then again, is a Biddy League Coach coming to the spurs next practice?

[ChumpDumper]

I choose 1.There you go

Jimmer isn't gonna score an abundance of points on those scoops. Though. it's noteworthy how well Jimmer did shoot from well on 2's last season. He needs to get his range completely back. It's not been the same since last season. He is at his utmost value when he can bomb lights out.

Not what I said. Keep (not) trying.

Oh shut up, you can't even remember what you said last page:

A lot of sh** GM's, imo.

I suppose PATFO aren't counted as GM's now? They even had Fredette in camp to work him out this summer and dropped his arrogant ass.

That's 1 in 30. dude; way to over-simplify per uoojh.... Teams have different needs, etc. And I wouldn't call PATFO crap like I would a lot of GMs. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with each and every move.

That's only 1 sure but your whine was about "sh** GM's", only need 1 example to show it's not just "sh** GM's" passing him up. Jimmer's been around for a few years now and can't find himself a team. That'd actually be more than 30 that have passed on him given turn over rate in that time. Face it, unless Jimmer changes, he's not gonna find himself in the NBA outside of bit parts.

How many teams passed on Jimmy Butler / Kawhi? Okay, then.

Yea, but quality GM's DID end up picking them up and developing them. What does that say about JimJam? Okay, then.

[ChumpDumper]

[Spurtacular]

McCallum had 10 points (4/16 from the field, 2/2 from the line), 3 boards, 4 assists, 1 block, and 2 TOs in 38 minutes of play.

Meanwhile, the player the Spurs should've stuck with followed up his 37 point debut with an even more impressive all around game...


In his second D-League game, Fredette finished with 22 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and five steals

[Vito Corleone]

Jimmer has officially become Alfredrick Hughes. He shall forever be known as Jimmer the great.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Doesn't show whole game

If it did, it would show Jimmer chucking 2/7, 29% from three point land. Supposedly his strong suit. And, 41% overall. This all vs D-league competition. Not impressive at all.

His 9 assists were this chucker's only saving grace. But, he's played with them a few games now.

He had a better game, statistically, than Ray in Ray's first game down there. But, in the actual NBA this year, Ray is shooting .455 from the field, no threes but he was making them at a good clip in the pre-season. No worse than Jimmer's 2/7 last night, or Jimmer's 18% in the NBA last season. Ray will not be asked to light it up, but he already is proving at least as efficient in the NBA as Jimmer was in the D-league last night.

Add to that, he can actually defend his man a little bit, and it's perfectly understandable why he got the nod over Jimmer.

Can we add it's only Ray's 3rd season, while this is Jimmer's 5th or 6th?

[GSH]

Its not even the size of athletes. He is still smaller than most guys there. It's that there is absolutely no rim protection on those drives, and no defensive schemes. Also, all of his scoring was off the dribble by himself, as you pointed out somewhere 500 posts back, it doesn't make sense for any NBA team to give him the ball to let him go crazy. He just can't play that way in the NBA with real NBA defenders, defensive schemes and rim protection.


LOL - people twisted that the Spurs cut him loose. Every single NBA team has seen what Jimmer has done in the D-League. Not a single one of them has called him to say, "Come sit on our bench." Not one. Shouldn't they be beating down his door? Or are they ALL too dumb to see how great he is?

The bad players in the NBA are pretty damned good. There are a few players who should have spent a couple more years in college. They get a chance to do that in the D-League. The rest are sparring partners.

Expectations for Jimmer are way high, and I think that's killing his chances in the NBA. As has been pointed out in this thread, some really bad players get playing time in the NBA and contribute very little, but it's not really an option for somebody as famous as Jimmer.

People forget he was above Austin Rivers in the rotation when they were both on the Pelicans. The only reason Rivers is in the NBA and Jimmer's not is because one of them has a dad who coaches in the NBA and just happens to be the general manager for his team. I think Jimmer's definitely NBA calibre, a decent third string guard at his worst and a serviceable backup scoring guard at his best.

Yea, the good stuff didn't come through. The other two games in NY were good quality. This Austin one wasn't for some reason. The next one will hopefully be up to standards.

28.5 ppg, 6.7 asts, 4.7 reb, 3.3 stls, 50.8 FG, 90.9 FT, 35.7 3FG in Jimmer's 3 games with Westchester.

And you're insane if you think Ray can shoot 3's better than Jimmer.

I can't remember a white player less willing to or capable of playing a team game.

[cd98]

Not sure why you are arguing. Both are fringe NBA players at best. So is Simmons. Jimmer will be back in the NBA later this year. All it takes is an injury. He's just biding his time and working on his game.

I just stated some facts. If you think the facts make it sound like Ray is a better three point shooter than Jimmer, that is telling. But, you drew that conclusion from those facts not me. Last year, in the NBA, Ray was over 30% from 3. Jimmer was 18%. That's a fact. The other night, Jimmer was 2/7. 29%, in the D-league. Just a couple of facts.

Do I have to tell you that 'facts' don't always tell the reality, or do you plan on persisting with the nonsense that McCallum is a better three shooter than Jimmer?

And, it's supposed to be his strong suit. Like Austin Daye. When you can't do the thing that you were most brought in to do, knock down a three, it amplifies all of your other weaknesses. The fact that McCallum is even giving Jimmer a run for his money in the shooting department is really bad news for Jimmer. Ray is NOT supposed to be a shooter. He's a quicker, more defensively minded young kid that can handle the ball. Wasn't really brought in to shoot. Yet, he outshot Jimmer by a long margin from 3 last year, and Jimmer is still chucking 2/7 from 3 in the D-league. In no way shape or form can this be spun as a positive for Jimmer. And, I was someone that was rooting for Daye. If he could have been a knockdown shooter, he would have been intriguing. If Jimmer can't shoot, he's even less interesting than Austin Daye. Daye was 6'11", protected the rim a little, rebounded a little, handled the ball well for his size, could pass well, and had the potential to draw bigs outside. But. He shot 33% from 3 and even that wasn't good enough for a big. Jimmer didn't even sniff 20% last year and he's a SHOOTING GUARD.

Jimmer can't shoot, can't defend, is a tweener. Too slow to guard point guards, too small to guard shooting guards, and is developing a reputation for being a diva. Some think he'll get picked up later in the season when an injury occurs, but who cares. He'll ride the pine and make little contribution. I doubt they're right at all. I will be surprised if he even makes a bench.

I agree. That's the ugly truth. If 6'11" Daye couldn't make it in the league, then a 6'2" Fredette certainly won't make it.

Jarel Eddie is 6'7" and shooting 50+% from 3 in d-league. He hasn't made it either.

Spurs are beginning to realize that you can train a player to shoot a high 3 point percentage (see: Bowen, Green, Leonard) but you can't train defensive ability.

to be fair...Jimmer appears to have gotten above 40% now in the D-league, but how far will that drop off vs NBA competition? Maybe he can do it in Italy. Daye just signed in italy.
