Gotta get him and Danny to do a dance-off.
What do you mean? We're talking about Jimmer here, tbh. Last I checked his hair wasn't red.LOL at 40pages for a guy who wouldnt even sniff the court. Never change ST
I put him on the Spurs in 2k14 for PS4 and couldn't guard anyone with him. Future looks bleak tbh.
I'll bet you anything that they under-rated his defense. His defense was much improved last season; though, it wasn't much reflected in the stats.
Yeah I saw that but last year he was absolutely atrocious shooting wise on a playoff team. He was decent on that Kings team though I see, his shooting was good. If you get last years version he is garbage, the one with the Kings you mention he can be a factor with the open looks.
Something wasn't right behind the scenes in Pelicanville. Monty was touting Jimmer being a gunner and then pulling him out at the littlest thing going wrong (often things that weren't even Jimmer's fault). Jimmer was never comfortable (always looking at Monty's hook in his periphery). He started the season 1-14 from threes in the first 31 games and was aiming rather than shooting in stride. If you have Jimmer on your team and you're only getting one made three from him in 31 games? And the situation was never corrected. Jimmer shot just 7-34 from deep for the remainder of the season.
On the bright side, Jimmer got even better on his tear drops last season. It was his saving grace. And Jimmer shot 45.8 percent from two. That's pretty good for an undersized guard who doesn't have his deep shots going for him.
With all of this said I still don't expect much out of him this season in the rotation, he will be on the bench most of the time IMO and if they get something out of him it's a bonus obviously being he will be the 12th man or so. He is the 4th PG in the offense right? He might contribute at some point but I see him in there mostly in garbage time.
Parker is starting PG. Ginobili/Mills is really the back-up PG at this point. They usually play together and have a hybrid of duties. That puts McCallum/Jimmer competing for CoJo minutes. But then Jimmer will also be competing for Beli minutes being that he's a combo guard. Also, don't forget that Parker/Ginobili are likely to take off X games and that'll open up a ground swell of minutes. I believe that Jimmer will have more of a chance to prove himself in significant minutes even if he is down on the depth chart on paper going into the season.
There will be minutes but they will be irregular. Even Cojo had irregular minutes for 3 years and would have played less last year if Tony and Patty had been healthier through the season. I expect Tony will be rested but Patty is likely to be healthy. Jimmer and Mccallum will divvy up those minutes. I don't realistically expect either to get Belli's minutes. Belli was always subbed in at the SF spot. Those minutes will go to one of Anderson or Simmons, or both.
Jimmer and McCallum are both at least 3 to 4 inches shorter than Belli. Both are at best proper subs utes for Parker, but are just too small even at the SG position. In fact, between Jimmer, McCallum, Simmons and Anderson, I think Simmons has the highest likelihood of picking up minutes due to his versatility at SG, SF and even PG.
I respect this opinion. I'm just not putting it past Jimmer to dazzle and become at least a semi-regular in the rotating.
On paper, this is true. But doing things in summer league (d-league) and doing things in the NBA are often two different things. So, we'll have to see how much their recent success translates.
Not sure if this was already posted.

Spurs fans don't know what they got.
Sure we do...a guy to allow the rotation players to rest during blowouts.
People probably said the same same stuff about Patty.
At least one of the comments is gold:
Although Fredette doesn't have the athleticism, playmaking ability, and not nearly the defensive skill that Belinelli has, we all are familiar with his shooting ability
As if Beli had any athleticism or playmaking ability, not to mention the defensive skills of a traffic cone. I wonder what a basketball player who doesn't have "nearly the [same] defensive skill" as Beli looks like! Well ok, maybe he looks like Gary Neal.
Once you say that Belinelli's defense s all over Jimmer's, there's no way to recover from that. Poor Jimmer looking like Meek out here.
that guy doesn't sound like he knows basketball very well.
It is. But that's because Parker's defense is a lot better than you seem to think.
45% from 2 is pretty impressive I have to allow.
Yup. Jimmer has 50/40/90 potential. Don't know why some people are so quick to scoff...
Actually, most people thought he was great pickup for very obvious reasons...like him having a high enough ceiling to be a rotation player.

Anything else you'd like to throw against the wall to see if it will stick?
Who finalizes deals like this for a guy like Jimmer. Does Coach get asked?
