Damn, even the Jazz affiliate team didn't want Jimmer.
Ayres was the #1 pick.

Jimmer's so good he got drafted in the lottery twice. #Legend
Ayers fulfilling his dream of being drafted #1 overall. ting on the haters
Was totally hoping he was going to go overseas so there would be no chance of Pop bringing him in this season.
An interesting note about this move is that the new head coach in Westchester is Mike Miller. Miller served as an assistant for the Spurs’ D-League affiliate, the Austin Spurs, from 2013 to 2015.
Fredette, who spent the preseason and training camp with the San Antonio Spurs, appears to have received a glowing recommendation, thus leading to Allan Houston‘s decision to bring him to Westchester.
That's a pretty big assumption to make. Given the growing irrelevance of the D-League draft, taking anyone with NBA experience in the first few slots is a no brainer.

I don't not agree with you. I'm still stuck on Jimmer for a while I guess.
Apparently the news is that he failed the Chinese workout, from David Pick.
Thanks for the update. That's sad that he didn't even make it in China. For his sake, I hope it was because his heart wasn't in it.
Shocking and hilarious but honestly, I'm happy for him.
Apparently, Jimmer and the Knicks had talks before the D-League draft; and the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster. This may explain why he didn't bolt for Europe like I figured he would. Jimmer also mentioned phone calls from other organizations and that he had turned down Euro offers.

Jimmer's thoughts on the triangle offense...Jimmer Fredette, the new point guard for the Westchester Knicks of the D-League, has his eyes on the Garden.
The sharpshooter out of upstate Glens Falls said he entered the D-League draft with the idea of the Knicks affiliate taking him and adding him as their 15th man later this season.
“That was kind of the plan,’’ Fredette said Monday on a conference call. “We talked to them beforehand and we hoped to make it work so I’d be drafted by the Knicks....
“Every player in the triangle can play a different position on every possession,” Fredette said. “They don’t try to get caught up with who the point guard or shooting guard is. It’s just guards who can score and handle the ball and shoot and be a smart player to run it. I think that plays into my game. I can shoot the ball and handle it from different positions on the court. I think I can be successful in it.’’
why do people care enough about Jimmer to keep this thread going??????
There is no indication the New York Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster from this article.
Do you have another source saying this?The Knicks had no interest in signing Fredette to an NBA contract when he got waived, but got intrigued when San Antonio passed on his D-League rights. Westchester GM Allan Houston feels Fredette can be a fan magnet initially and perhaps light it up in the team’s triangle offense.
That's a whole big bag full of suck.
Depends on who you ask, tbh.
Jimmer and the Knicks. Only the Lakers would have been a better match.
God, so SA rejected him for the d-league. I mean, I would have chosen Thomas over Fredette too, but they specifically went out and signed Washburn to fill that fourth spot.
This is why I love the Spurs; they did the City of Austin a solid by keeping him away from the Toros.
If he signs with the Knicks, wouldn't that save the Spurs some money?
He was drafted by the Westchester Knicks after every NBA team passed on picking up his partially guaranteed contract. He got all the money the Spurs guaranteed him.
You don't get to set-off money that's less than the min.
Hack analysis.
Spurs would have kept Jimmer if he wanted to toil away in the d-league til a spot opened. Rather, they allowed him to pursue teams with openings on their rosters.
Why are you obsessed with this particular player? I never saw what all the fuss was about.
