Del Negro was taller, but not faster. And while Del Negro was a great midrange shooter, he didn't have Jimmer range.
Well, Jimmer's defense has improved. But I'll say that BYU basically played a version of a Del Negro defense for Jimmer at BYU.

Vinnie's best years (combination of % and 3pt attempts) occured when the 3 pt line was shortened. Still probably a underrated player.During the 1994–95, 1995–96, and 1996-97 seasons, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the distance of the line from 23 feet, 9 inches (22 feet at the corners) to a uniform 22 feet (6.7 m) around the basket.
I love how the le of the thread still says "mostly non-guaranteed."
It still is, but barely.
How does the contract work again?
He wasn't always a 40% three point shooter. I bet you never saw Del Negro play for the Spurs. You're just a Anti-Jimmer troll judging by your posts.
2 out of 6 years means always.
Its not a highlight reel...its a scouting report.
It lists his pros and cons with examples of each:![]()
Thanks for sharing that. It helped me get a sense for his game. He definitely brings more than Eddie in term of his offensive game. Defensively he seemed atrocious bc he is small and has short arms. He doesn't have good defensive fundamentals and unlike a Anderson can't recover at all on mistakes. Anderson's limitations are in athleticism, but he has other tools he knows how to use. He has excellent timing and anticipation, understands angles, and has size and length to recover into plays and come up w blocks and deflections. Jimmer has none of that but hopefully he wisens up on defense at least. Spurs must have some kind of plan they believe could help him.
If we did highlights of your posts, you wouldn't.
Eddie seems like a middle income man's Green. Saying that, I'd love to see him on the SA roster at some point.
Jimmer definitely has much more offensive talents than many are willing to concede. For instance, the notion that he can't play PG is poppy .
I don't think KA and Jimmer are in direct compe ion for mins. I think the plan is to use KA as KL's back-up.

Wasn't sure if this was worthy of another thread, so I'll put it here. It's lead story on hoopshype this norning.
Rasual Butler on Spurs' radar
Michael Scotto: Source: San Antonio Spurs have expressed interest in free agent forward Rasual Butler. He shot 39% from 3PT range last season in Washington.

Jimmer from the black
Yeesh that music is nails on a chalkboard to anyone who's ever had to use Garageband extensively
I had to continue to add to this thread when I found this:
http://thesportsquotient.com/nba/201...immer-fredette
Not a completely negative article, it does acknowledge Fredette's deficiencies:
"He was electrifying in college because he was a threat to drain jumpers from anywhere, but he doesn’t really have the right skill set to be a point guard at the highest level. Even at BYU, Jimmer only averaged 3.7 assists per game over his career and never showed the poise and control that is necessary to run the show on an NBA floor. He was also subpar on defense. Playing poor defense and being unable to effectively distribute the ball makes it extremely difficult for a smallish guard with limited driving ability to thrive in the NBA. But if there’s anybody who can revive his career, it would have to be his new head coach,Gregg Popovich."
Keep in mind, it's fashionable for writers to trash Jimmer. Saying stuff ever so casually like Jimmer can't play PG in the NBA is bunk; and they know it.
