I want to make an argument that i feel is rather solid. I know there are a lot of Jimmer Haters out there, or even just basketball guru's possessing no personal bias, yet nonetheless affirm his potential and upside inadaquate and inherently not enough to make him a worthy lottery pick in this up coming draft (though considering the weakness of this years draft, Jimmer has probably moved close to the lottery on your mock boards, if not all the way into it). I understand that, as a rookie, Jimmer stands a good chance of getting eaton alive by guys like John Wall, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook (which may not be to significant-- most point guards are already getting utterly dominated by these guys). That being said i want to propose just a couple thoughts: 1-Check out the knocks on Steve Nash's game coming out of Santa Clara--they are very similar to the things said about Jimmer. Also check out Nash's stats during his first 4 years in the league. 2- Jimmer would do a lot to help resurrect the Utah Jazz Fanbase that faded with the departure of Stockton and Malone. You remember it! Everyone in Utah was a fan of the Jazz during the Glory Days. I live in St George, and i remember driving down the STG BLVD seeing marquees saying something to the effect of "Go Jazz" or "Jazz Basketball:Thanks for a great season" What i am trying to say is that Jimmer has appeal, especially in Utah. How many BYU fans don't really care too much for the Jazz? If Jimmer is, at the very least, a respectable basketball player in the pros, he'll do a lot for Jazz Basketball. Home Hero (Sort of), Soild Dude off the court, humble athlete... i like our chances if we draft him.
3- We need a shooter and Jimmer can Shoot the Basketball! I really don't have to argue that. If Jimmer can Score 40Plus points in a game where Kawhi Leonard is matched up with him, then i think he can score, or atleast shoot, on guys at the next level. 4-Give Jimmer 4 years. I think he'll be a solid point guard. He showed at BYU that he has pretty good court vision. He really seemed to know where guys were on the floor when he drove to the basket.

According to ESPN (I think it was Chad Ford writing the article), Jazz Brass are pretty high Jimmer. I think he'd be a great pick! I'm interested to hear your thoughts!
 
I guess he could become the next Korver (only shorter and no defense). I wouldn't take him at 6 or 12 though.

Korver isnt a good comparison. Jimmer has good handles. If he was a craftier finisher around the rim I could justify #12, but his finishing is terrible.
 
Pretty sure (I hope) we don't take him with our first pick. And I think there is a very good chance he is off the board by the time our second pick comes around. So i don't think it will even be an option.
 
How do you put what the other person said in a box?

The Jazz need players who can shoot. Jimmer can shoot. Can you not see that? He is the best fit for the Jazz because no one else can shoot like him and the Jazz need people who can shoot. That's why I would take him #1.

You quote them. You can either "reply with quote", or copy what they typed, and paste it into a quote box in the advanced functions.
You should take a little time to mess around with the functions available in the "Go Advanced" area of a post.
 
I would take Jimmer if he falls to #30 in the second round and I can trade down to get him. Oh yeah I would be all over that!

Don't listen to that mumbo jumbo Spazz is spouting. It's not nearly so technical. You put what the other person said in a box by purposely misinterpreting them. It's also effective to make fun of their opinion by picking an irrelevant mistake they made and emphasizing it until fellow forum members are convinced they were actually trying to overthrow the government or something equally nefarious. Feel free to simply edit their quote to your purposes if necessary.

As for drafting Jimmer, the dude can act! I'm a big fan of his Disney movies, though I don't understand why he allowed them to turn Pinocchio back into a wooden boy. In fact, I'm pretty pissed about that part. On the basketball side, I'm resigned to the fact that the Jazz are going to darft him for the marketing reasons you state above and I'll forgive them as long as they take Bismak with their first pick. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to enjoy watching guys drive past Jimminy only to get flattened by Swat.
