He's on the same level as Patty Mills though.

Scrubber Fredette, yours for the special low price of $500k plus shipping and handling.
meh, its the college fanfare. tebow/vince young effect
Also an increase in jersey sales to the Mormons tbh
The college fanfare is aided by being White, especially religious and White..
the fanfare comes from being one of the more ridiculous college shooters in recent memory... helps that he wasn't from a powerhouse schoo. same reason steph curry's hype blew up in college
You think people like Jimmer because he's mormon?
If that is true cut his ass now tbh.
He hits a specific demographic and has a cult following, which is a huge advantage over other players with similar/superior ability..Jimmer will always receive more attention than a superior fringe player like Reggie Williams, for example..
Reggie Williams never made a big impact anywhere so that's a significant difference. All hope for Jimmer will be gone after this if he can't make the team.
I kind of feel bad for Jimmer but the dude just flat out sucks.
Dude needs confidence. He won't make the team playing timid, Spurs got you for your shooting. Shoot.
Agreed. He looked way too nervous out there. I think he's still shaking off the NOL mentality. He'll be fine if the Spurs stick with him.
He played timid like simmons did. That shouldn't happen after all the NBA playing time he has seen but maybe when you recognize this as your last shot it with your playing ability.
mormons make up of less than 2% of the population... it goes beyond that![]()
I think it's the Spurs' rep of ball sharing and unselfishness that gets most of the guys who try out in training camp or 10-day contracts. He needs to play like Patty, Daye (without the bricks), Beli, Neal, etc.
First time I've ever seen Jimmer play...I can only pray I don't see him play again.
Damage control.![]()
He better get his mentality fixed or he isn't going to be on the team. Spurs fed him a couple of open shots and he couldn't deliver. I don't care if he can't defend or makes some risky bone head plays (that bad pass to Mills). I expect him though to make his shots when he is open. Did not happen.
He had the worse +/- of the scrubs, -12
Even Reggie Williams played a better game!!!
I think this extended thread is messing with his mind. There's no reason why he should feel any pressure.

I for one, make the team or not, hope he turns things around and plays well. Hate to see his career end on this downer. It was sad to see the guy with no confidence.
Like to see Jimmer with the ball more in the next preseason game. He fed Lma, boban, and got an open floater when he had the ball. If Ray can hit shots he'll be fine but if can't he's going to look like the first half of last night.
