A lot of people keep talking about Eddie coming to camp. But I haven't seen any official word that hes inked a training camp deal. Did I just miss it?
Pretty sure Jimmer won't be around long enough for any of this to matter.

I don't think Fredette is going to make the roster now that Reggie Williams is signed on as the 15th man.
Really don't see that as being true.
Williams contract for next season is unguaranteed. Don't know when it becomes guaranteed, but I gather it is probably after training camp.
Reggie Williams' contract situation is the same it was 3 months ago. Literally nothing has changed except now Monroe is saying it's a full guarantee despite no word of this before.
I'm guessing misinformation. He probably has either a small partial guarantee for next season (eg, like a training camp guarantee of $50k) or nothing at all. If he makes it out of camp he potentially becomes fully guaranteed.
Kind of weird to sign Fredette to go to camp for the 15th slot and have that 15 slot already filled. In fact, Jimmer was so thrilled with the contract that he posted it on twitter. You can't be thrilled if there isn't even a spot open.
The one article suggested signing him was to some extent a favor to his agen . Same agent as David West. Probably knows coming in that he is a long shot, but at least may give him a chance to attract another deal/interest. Or Williams contract is small enough to eat without difficulty. Putting all the indirect evidence together, I think it's highly unlikely he is on the roster opening night.
I've been wrong before...
Jimmer will make this team.
Hard for me to see RW making it over Jimmer the way this team is currently constructed and given RW's weak showing last season. Guessing that the Spurs are keeping their options open.
I hope you're right, tbh. He's arguably my favorite college player ever. Guy was just fun to watch. Not banking on it though.
Reggie can eat up some preseason minutes; and then another team can sign him if he does well.
I just realized Kawhi shows more emotion in this one video than he has with the Spurs (minus when he accepted his Finals MVP, of course). Look at his reaction on the bench at the 1:16 mark.
I don't know if the financials factor into the decision; but if they do, that's a notch for Jimmer. He is great for jersey sales and ticket sales as well as ratings.
We have four open roster spots so its going to balloon to 20 players over the next couple of weeks. Thats almost an absolute guarantee.
We're at 16 right now. That means we can sign 4 more players. I would imagine some combination of Eddie, Ndoye, Scott, Davies and Graham are likely to be in the mix. Maybe another veteran (a la, Jimmer Fredette) on a make-good contract. They will all eat up preseason minutes to some degree. Then it's off to Austin for three of them and the scrap heap for the 2-3 others.
Let's hope that's all it was, and he shows us something in preseason.
Players don't like going to the d-league once they've 'made it.' Jimmer would be in that category. Williams hasn't had a full season in the NBA, so maybe he'd psychologically handle it well enough. But if another team wanted Williams, I imagine they'd part with him rather than send him down to the d-league out of courtesy.
I like vids like this. You feel more like you're at the game.
Don't agree with every comment in this vid. But this shows some of the ways that Kings 2.0 misused Jimmer when they bothered to give him some minutes:
1. Why is he working out against midgets? His biggest flaw is not being able to get his shot off against taller players and he's there going one-on-one against 5-foot-5 munchkins? K.
2. His release is somehow getting slower. Chip needs to get to him ASAP. The first 90% of Jimmer's stroke is unnecessary.
Yea he takes too long to set his shot. He catches it, then goes down to gather before coming up to jump and release. He needs to already be gathering before he catches so as son as the ball hits his hand, he's ready to go up and fire. I don't remember him doing that in college either.
And yea Idk why he's training with that guy.. Need to get a wing on him or at least use the broomstick.
Imagine if Spurs players routinely didn't hit Danny Green when he was open for threes. That's been the teammates that Jimmer has had.
Jimmer looked good whenever he got halfway decent minutes....
The other guy sucked to boot. He was like a JV bench player or something.
