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

[BillMc]

I thought he was a bust? Must look up stats....

[spurraider21]

he woulda been a good fallback option if we had to trade Patty... but i dont see a point now

Thank you. Perez makes the steve Kerr comparison but we already have our ballsy 3 shooter. Patty has shown he can hit 3s on the big stage.

[tatteredprince]

who knows he might be Chip Engelland's assistant someday.....a shooting coach in the making

[spurraider21]

JJ Re minus defense

The Spurs aren't trading Patty.

[BillMc]

He shot .188 from behind the arc last season, though at least he's a career .381

You can never have too many players to bail out Enrique. That same year Kerr bailed him out Speedy also had to bail him out in the Finals.

I don't think this kid ever got a fair shot. I'd hate to see him relegated to garbage time....

i know... which is why i said "i dont see a point now"

Buy low.

If/When Parker's play in this new offense proves itself to be an issue, there will be better options in the buy out market than Jimmer. He doesn't even really serve much back up as a playmaker anyway. And as I've alluded to, Patty makes Jimmer's skillset look average and redundant.

We still lack a good, defensive big, TBH.

"Who cares if Matty is the 15th guy and had a bad shooting year, corporate knowledge "

"But is Jimmer good enough to be the 15th guy? I don't know, he's only shown he can shoot the ball and is fairly young... Don't like the move tbh tbh"

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Why? The Spurs are going to have 4 PGs?

I don't mind. Whatever it takes for Parker to play less minutes in the regular season so he can be fresh for the playoffs and not hobbling around on a bad hamstring and ankle as he has the past 3 years.

[Beaverfuzz]

Ferdette, terrible.

[silverblackfan]

Hardly knew anything about him until this thread. He has range. Seems redundant, but still a very skilled shooter. Spurs just seem to be hording good talent at this point.

[Beaverfuzz]

Why? The Spurs are going to have 4 PGs?

Ferdette excepted because he sucks, I'm betting because Manu's minutes are going to be more limited as a whole.

[loveforthegame]

I like it. Another guy who didn't get a fair shake in Sacramento and wasn't able to find time after that.

He could bounce back in SA I believe.

Damn. The Spurs are ridiculous this summer.

[spurraider21]

not exactly a danny green highlight video

[ceperez]

he's #15 in the roster. has a great work ethic and high basketball IQ.

Spurs are so stacked, I don't know how he'll even get minutes playing. He's going to get the minimum because it appears nobody else is interested in his services.

BTW... is he elligible to play in the d-league?

[silverblackfan]

He may be training camp fodder and spend some time in Austin learning the system. The D-League limit just increased.
