He would do ok in Europe. Even better in Mexican league or Ecuadorian league tbh.
He has no biz here
Jimmer problem is that he needs to be hot when he comes in cold from the bench. Given his poor defense, he at best is a specialist. Just like Steve Kerr, who did just one thing and did it well.
If he's out there on the court not hitting the open 3's, then he doesn't belong. He's got a couple more pre-season games to prove his worth. Anderson, Simmons, Marjanovic, McCallum, Butler all proved yesterday that they belong, Jimmer unfortunately has not.
This thread may have more pages than Jimmer will have points this year.
You can put Jimmer in better situations, but it's still very evident that he's unathletic, shoots slowly, and has to force awkward shots due to his limitations and inability to create space or shoot with a quick release..you can preach Spurs system all you want, but the players in the system still need to have enough talent to fill a niche..
Neal had athletic and height limitations, but the quick release changes everything..allows him to shoot off the dribble with limited space, play off screens against taller defenders, etc..
Jimmer needs to forget about shooting 3 pointers. He needs to develop a mid range shot like Gary Neal and Belineli did. Neal was a scorer, not just a 3 point specialist. Let the 3 pointers come when he gets a rhythm going.
Let's be honest, he would be better in the neighborhood 40 and up league.
I don't get it. The Spurs have three for each guard spot and Butler would make three for SF (when was the last time we had three true SFs on the roster?). Where is Jimmer supposed to fit?
If you mean regular-season NBA points, it may have passed him up after the first post.
Clearly we don't really need 3 sfs. Ray and Simmons are still unknown and Manu and Tony are injury prone. So if Jimmer and Butler is a toss up I'd take Jimmer. Likely in that scenario I would take both over Bonner.
Did spurstacular kill himself? It's been more than 6 hours since his last reply. Must be serious.
Hasn't Kawhi missed at least 16 games each year since his first year in the league? I wouldn't call Anderson a known and Jimmer isn't any less an unknown compared to Ray and Simmons.
lol moving the goalpost to Bonner.
Lol 72 pages about a scrub, WTF!?
He will make no difference at all you know.
Not moving the goal post. I said if Jimmer is equally as good as Butler I would take him over Butler. I just added, in that case I would most likely take both over Bonner.
Anderson isn't a known either. I should add that I wouldn't mind giving Simmons or Ginobili minutes at the 3 so the depth at that position isn't as big of a deal to me as obtaining someone with potential play making ability.
I'm not preparing for a Kawhi injury as much because if that were to happen in the playoffs then we are ed no matter what.
May????
No way scrubette gets over 50 pts
Hard for Jimmer to stand out when he comes in late second quarter and gets like 6 minutes for the game. You take that snap shot and a lot of guys getting a pass would be getting the same vitriol. That said, there's probably a reason why he didn't get in earlier and wasn't given more minutes, and that does not bode well for him.
The one real open easy three didn't count cos of the Kawhi foul. He made that. I remember him passing on a decent three look at the corner extended and then kicking. He was ready on the next one, but really didn't catch in rhythm and would've been better off pump faking and letting the defender go by. The shot he took was a bit rushed and not in great rhythm and unsurprisingly missed. I'm not worried about one game though. Yea, if he's on the edge of making the team, I hope he plays better and more aggressive. But long term, I still think he'll be a good fit once he finds himself in this system. He needs to want to shoot threes though. At one point, they sagged off him and he was looking for a post pass to LMA. Just bury the damn three. That's why the Spurs signed ya, son.
He missed a really open easy 3. Not that means anything but that's what it was.
If it happens during the regular season -- Kawhi has been missing at least 1/5 of the season for the past three -- wouldn't you want a known SF to play exactly the way Butler did last season for the Wizards?
I'd have to rewatch when I get a chance....
At full strength, Butler would just be a waste. He could come in handy in the even to injuries and DNPs.
And those never happen to the Spurs, do they?
I don't even know if Jimmer would ever play with rotation Spurs sitting out.
If porker can play, jimmy can play.
Jimmer > McCallum
No reason not to play Jimmer, tbh.
Not with Kawhi, Anderson, and Simmons all prime and in front of Butler at the three. And this says nothing of three guard line-ups and Diaw or Bonner playing the occasional three.
This is why you are a ty poster.If porker can play, jimmy can play.
