Still better than Jimmer.

He's not. Taking Butler and sticking with Simmons has worked out. But McCallum is a waste of a spot. Kings of all organizations ripped the Spurs off by taking a 2nd for McCallum. Jimmer is way better, too.
Jimmer is in the D-league, and McCallum is outplaying him in the NBA. McCallum can play a role in the NBA whereas Jimmer could not. Just a chucker even in D-league. He's one step above a taco the kids get to chase around the bases. He's a minor league ticket draw, and sells some popcorn and hotdogs.
This is one of the more idiotic takes I've read.
2015-16 RM NBA: 1.8 Pts 0.8 Asts 1.3 Reb 0.2 Stls 0.2 Blks 38 FG 25 3FG 100 FT

1. Ray is on the roster of an NBA contender.
2. Jimmer is in the DLeague because there isn't a single NBA team willing to offer him a roster spot.
3. Ray and Jimmer found themselves on the roster of the same NBA team twice in the last two years. Both of those franchises chose to cut Jimmer and retain Ray.
Those are the simple, stubborn facts.
And Kyle last year put up monster stats in DLeague. No one is impressed with DLeague chucking.
And Kyle is in the league b/c he showed what he can do. Same with Jimmer. He'll be up again. There's no doubt about that. Only trolls are saying otherwise.
And, Ray is shooting 50% this regular season from the NBA 3 point line. Not so much Jimmer.
Nope. Jimmer just isn't an NBA player.
McCallum is.
Is this going to continue all season?
Remains to be seen. If he can actually accept being a role player in the NBA, he could stick. If he just chucks the ball every time like he's having BYU flashbacks, he's destined to playing in the minor leagues no matter what god he prays to.
No one needs an undersized chucker whose best talent is hogging the ball.
Fail. Ray is shooting half that, 25 3FG this season. He shoot 32.8 3FG on his career, which isn't that great frankly.
Meanwhile, Jimmer has rebounded and is shooting 45.8 3FG.
A year or two from now, Jimmer will be in an NBA rotation and Ray McCallum will be out of the league.
Jimmer = ap?
I was pretty sure Ray was 1/2 this season from 3. Don't think your numbers are right, but it's irrelevant. I was yankin' yer chain. The point being, the one three he made, was in the N. B. A.
Weak sauce, brah.
I don't have the time to do it justice, today. But, you conjure Ray. A different Ray. Ray Liotta. In character, unbeknownst to him, consuming a few nonessential gyri from his own brain, he continued to act like an idiot saying stupid things like: "Weak sauce, brah hahahahaha". "This is good, is there any more?"
Here's Jimmer's replacement for the Spurs:
Feast on that 3 point shooting!
Well, he definitely shoots the three better than Jimmer.
Also much harder to block. I think its pretty much settled, Spurs can take a big defensive player that can't shoot and make them into 3 point shooters. You can teach a player to shoot 3's, but you can never teach length.
Cady's progress since summer league is phenomenal. Next season with the mother ship.
Everyone is staying!
At this point last season, there had been 11 call ups to the NBA. So far this season, we are stuck on three. That will almost certainly change come Jan. 5 when NBA clubs can offer 10-day contracts to free agents, but for now it creates a logjam of talent in the D-League.
We have teamed up with Adam Johnson of D-League Digest this season to provide a comprehensive ranking for the top-10 players in the league each week. You can check out last week’s rankings here.
This week we have two newcomers and the biggest mover is Vince Hunter, who jumped three spots into the top five.

He looks better there than he did in summer league and preseason.
