    Jimmer will get significant minutes during the season, imo.
    Well, Tebow was cut, so it's Jimmer's chance to keep the dream alive!

    I never did like Tebow in college; but I started to root for him in the pros when I saw that he was exposing close minded es.

    Interesting about that vid is that I remember Kawhi also working out in Billups gym a year or two ago... guess it's one of those go to places for pro ballers...

    So, a quarter of Spurtacular's posts are in this thread. Interesting. He must be Jimmer's secret fan or something. Who in the waste that much of posts in this scrub?
    Check the stats. I was a ST member before Jimmer signed. And you're a scrub, tbh.

    Come on, Apalisoc.

    I know you learned your lesson on trashing Kawhi early only to jump on his rod after the fact. But have some balls and put your chips on the table or fold on Jimmer now. Spare us your lame ass sock. Just cos you wanna hold out for a possible play Jimmer over Parker thread down the line is no excuse not to man up instead of hiding in the shadows like a p***y.

    Do it now. Don't be a wussy bandwagon guy later.

    Forgot his apparent drone number. Now it's in your mentions alerts, ; no excuse to not weigh in.

    Check the stats... You have 1000+ alltime posts and 250+/- of those are in this thread. You dont need to hide, so, stop that bull dude and stop making excuses. You're a Jimmer's fan and that's all. You took it as it was a bad thing. Are you ashamed coming out of Jimmer's fanclub closet?

    Never said I wasn't a fan. I was speaking to some of your seeming implications.

    Also, your ratio point is invalid b/c I have been among the most active posters non-Jimmer threads.

    Has a consistent shot with shoulders square to the basket, just like you teach it. The problem is, at least in the video, he takes way too long to get his shot off. It looks to be around 2 seconds or longer once the ball is in his hands. Even in practice, he needs to work on getting that down to 1.2 or lower.

    I can live with the release based upon his percentage/range. But he definitely could stand to learn different release points to maximize his threat level / ability to get shots off.

    Jimmer is already better than half of the Spurs team. He was a better pickup than LMA

    Why is everyone tearing into Spurtacular? This is basically the de facto "Church of" thread for Jimmer, and the guy is en led to his opinion. If you're annoyed by it, then don't come into the thread. It's that simple. At least he's not Apo-style spamming the forum with multiple hate-filled threads on a particular player.

    I don't think you can call it a bump if it never leaves the first page.

    You admitted you're a Jimmer fan. So, that basically put you over the "fan" connotation because who in will accept being a Jimmer's fan? That put you right on the family/religious group. You a racist mormon too? Simple questions, don't need to start an issue about it.

    Yep, that is why Bonner sucks in games. He has such a slow release. In an empty gym or on the practice floor, Bonner is a magnificent shooter, but when you need to get your shot off quick that is where Bonner struggles in live games with his accuracy. I remember a couple of seasons ago where I read that he was trying to speed up his release. I can't remember if it was during an off-season or not, but I do recall him making it a priority. So obviously Bonner knows it's a problem and he has tried working on it in the past. I can't remember how many years ago it was that I read that. I'm thinking it was 1-2 years ago. I'm also thinking he somehow got worse in games since he made that a priority .

    I also saw a video within the past year where Steph Curry said - "I want to practice to the point of where it's almost uncomfortable how fast you shoot so that in a game things kind of slow down". After hearing him say that it kind of changed my thoughts quite a lot on practicing shooting.

    As it should. What people often don't seem to understand about shooting is that being open isn't just a place. Rather, it's a sliding segment in space and time. So speeding up the release lengthens the window of time a player is open and thusly decreases the amount of distance a player has to be away from his man for him to be available for the pass.

    Jimmer's slow release (and low release combined with his lack of height) requires him to be farther from his man than normal, which is why is range has to be so insane to work. The upshot is that his long-threes really don't provide better spacing for the offense, since his many can contest his shots while still being able to help inside the arc. If someone like Eddie had Jimmer's range, his man would probably not be able to step inside the three-line.

    The reason why it works for Bonner as much as it does is because he plays the four, so slower guys are guarding him. Slower guys=more time to shoot=less space required to get shot off=better spacing for the team. Now that teams are becoming better at defending the three and bigs are getting smaller and more agile, Bonner's window to be open is shrinking.

    This was addressed 30-40 pages back. In short, there's no statistical evidence to suggest he got his shot swatted more than others at his position. This is in spite of the shot mechanic nazis insisting he must change his shot to be successful in the NBA.

    Just ignore the underwhelming (at best) 3PT% and his awful team-offensive numbers and pretend like his form isn't an issue.

    Poor spacing, poor execution leading to late shot clock heaves...see I can postulate based on absolutely nothing as well.
