He's a serviceable NBA player.
You're over simplifying.
He's a serviceable NBA player.
compare to minutes played and percentages, silly...
And Jimmer 2015-2016 NBA
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Ray is playing a limited minute role and doing adequately. Jimmer could not.
We agree there. He got a bad rap because his fumbling was so con uous and often comical. But, we could have done worse. Glad you defended him, because he made top ten at Jimmer's expense.
Give me Eddie. That guy has a sweet jumper
I've consistently defended Ayers. Where someone ranks him compared to Jimmer is not relative to that fact.
Yea..no.
Jimmer has played great in the D-League. Ray has played mediocre at best. And don't expect it to get better. What you've seen; that's as good as it's gonna get. Jimmer can do everything Ray can do and more.
Except play Spurs basketball.
When Parker or Mills go down, Ray will make people miss the days of CoJo. Book it.
Sure, Joseph was pretty much the best third PG in the league -- but no one will miss the days of Jimmer.
They will when he's lighting it up and thinking about what they could have had.
He can't light it up in the NBA, so no.
He may get picked up by some crappy team after the showcase, but all he would do on the Spurs is take away shots from much better players.
He'd be spreading the floor and nailing threes and making drives. Ray can't offer this, and he never will.
Jimmer can't offer this, and he never will. Jimmer is just a chucker who thinks he's a lot better than he actually is. There is absolutely no place for a guy like that on the Spurs.
This isn't your livejournal, no need for fanfiction here.
Jimmer with 21 hard fought points while shooting fifty percent from the field and racking up three steals and a block in yesterday's game. His +6 corresponds with his team's margin of victory.
Some good dribbling by Jimmer at between the 1:43:00 and 1:45:00 marks. Smooth between the legs; later, splitting a double team while going behind his back. He wasn't doing that in preseason. He needs to do that more in the vain of Curry.
I wish I knew for sure if it was his at ude or play that got him the boot.
His play was bad enough all on its own. If he had at ude on top of it, wow.
We already knew Jimmer could play at a level below the NBA. He proved that at BYU.
Jimmer is fun to watch in the D League. I just don't think he'll find a role that lets him do that in the NBA. I'll give him this, he never bad mouths teams that cut him. I think the talk about his at ude is probably over exaggerated.
The issue with Jimmer was the same as the issue with REggie Williams: defense, or rather the lack thereof from both guys.
no, actually his take was pretty spot on.
does the difference between the d-league and the real league need to be explained to you?
so....you completely ignore all the flaws to Jimmer's game...but then say Ray won't get better based on.....nothing? there's no way he'll improve? this is his ceiling? based on....nothing? great take.
seriously spurtacular, i don't get it. i've seen you have some really solid takes in here before. but this jimmer fascination....it borders on blatant trolling. what is the fascination on what would have been the 15th man on the team.
and i'm not a jimmer hater. i'm on record here saying i'd have kept him over bonner to see if he could develop into something serviceable. but then again, i was pulling for eddiy curry a few seasons ago. maybe i'm just a softie.
but the entire league has spoken. jimmer still isn't on anyone's roster. the spurs front office passed on him, even though he was making relative pennies. and i'm have too much faith in the braintrust that brought us trophies in 3 different decades to lose this much sleep over a marginal player.
Jimmer can do everything Ray can do and more.[/QUOTE]
sounds like a girl i knew in college....
I would say that this thread shoud be moved to the NBA forum, but Jimmer isn't really an NBA player at this point.
Glad he is playing well in the D-league and I wish him well with a solid career overseas.

This reminds me of all the Mahinmi and Blair threads, after they went to Dallas. Every time they made it down the court without tripping, someone was crying that it "proved" how good they really were. "If Pop had only given him a chance. Waaah."
And Blair/Mahinmi were both more valuable at the NBA level than J-J-J-Jimmer.
