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

[Gladney to see you]

Can he shoot free throws wearing a blue blazer and Khakis because I don't see him beating out anybody in the top 13 of the rotation.

Offense defense subs ution at the end of games. If we (I) rip on him I have to give him respect for what he does well.

[Darkwaters]

Gotta ask cause it's weird. We keep hearing that Sacto players were freezing him out and he never got a fair shot anywhere else he landed.


Was it the cult thing that freaked the players out?

Was it the onslaught of rabid Mormon posters all about the jimmer that pissed off the players and the fanbase?

Was it that he can't defend anyone anywhere that prompted the anti jimmer backlash?

Were players jealous that jimmer can have a load of wives and then be god of his own universe when he dies? What was the actual deal here?

Wow man. Pretty ing bigoted.

Yeah, if we're allowed to poke fun of the Mormon religion up in here, what's next, serious religions like Scientology?!

Stop the insanity.

It's actually kind of tongue in cheek but all based in logic.

All religions are cults to outside observers, with Mormonism being an exceptionally out there religion and can freak people out if they don't understand it - fact.
Jimmer fanatics are rabid, are for the most part Mormon and can post on the internet - fact.
Jimmer can't defend anyone anywhere - fact, fact, fact
Some Mormons can have a load of wives and in their religion, are given an entire universe of their own to be god in when they die - fact.

So, the question was did any of the above facts cause opinions to align against this kid?

My dream is that it eclipses the Aldridge thread by opening night tbh.

So if it does, does that mean then that best player in team (based on salary) is less popular than the scrub filling up the #15 slot?

You can count on me to bump for every training camp interview, pre-season highlight and any notable minutes he receives in the regular season should he get that far. Just doing my part tbqh.

Very impressive! Many things that Eddie can't do shown in this video.

Impressive!!! An absolute steal!!!

Jimmer and Patty both in the game at the same time are going to rain down threes by the boat load!!!

Scenario: Down by 15 with 2 minutes to go, subs ute in the team:

Mills
Fredette
Green
West
Bonner

to waive the flag in surrender....

only to see ....

Mills 3pts
Mills 3pts
Fredette 3pts
Bonner 3 pts
Green 3pts
Mills 3pts
Fredette 3pts
Fredette 3 pts
Mills 3pts
Fredette 3pts
Mills 3pts

Win by 10 points!! 11 seconds or less per possession. Hack-a-anybody strategy.

Should the thread le be changed again?

Lol, playing Mills and Jimmer together will net us a defensive rating of 115... Garbage time only.

Jimmer really is a poor man's Mills.

"But at least he can dribble unlike Green." - hater

[dweaver99027]

Jimmer has shown he's an above average scorer when given offensive freedom in his first 2 years in the league. It remains to be seen whether his deficiencies in all other aspects matter more or less in a very specific team system like the Spurs'.

Come training camp, Spurs will put Green, Leonard and Simmons on him. Ff he manages to keep the ball then he likely will stick with the Spurs.

No saying KL's defense hasn't evolved; but Jimmer owned KL in college whenever they put him on him. Jimmer lit up Green only last season. And Simmons ain't on that list, tbh.

Is there any video of that?

[Spurtacular]

Is there any video of that?

Go watch BYU/SDSU hihglights. You won't find much b/c Fischer used KL as a 3rd or 4th or sometimes 5th, 6th or 7th option. But Jimmer would score on him once or twice and Fischer wouldn't have much patience to keep with it. SDSU actually considered Malcolm Thomas, a 6'9" forward with long arms and good lateral quickness to be their best Jimmer defender.
