Good post. In a deeper draft, maybe he does drop into the 20's. Or maybe not, late lottery is always stocked with role players or high risk/high reward players. I think Jimmer is a low-risk/medium reward player. He doesn't have a ton of upside. He's not going to become one of the best players of all time. But, I think Jimmer's floor is a backup PG and a shooting specialist. Jazz gave up a player and 1st rounder to get Korver - and he was our shooting specialist. He was similarly flawed defensively, but could get us back in games in the 4th with his shooting or close them out at the FT line. If the Jazz picked up a guy who would - at worst - be a quality backup PG and spot starter for the next 8 years, I'd be ok with that. Outside of Watson, name the last time the Jazz had a quality 2nd-string PG? Maynor. And where was he selected? Jimmer is a better prospect and would certainly warrant a selection 8 spots better.

The Jazz are desparate for shooting and that is one thing you are sure he can do. Someone said he might top out as a JJ Barea and I think that would be lovely.

Every college PG is an unproven PG at the NBA level. People are so beeping stupid sometimes.

Seems like every workout he's been to, people say he's a better passer than they thought.

Just sayin...

You must really hate Jimmer if you are going to try to tell all these Jimmer fans that he isn't going to be the best NBA player of all time. This article is obviously utter nonsense! Rubbish! Bullocks!

I always laugh when writers say he is a 22 year old senior like he is already to old. In the day, most players came into the NBA after playing four years of college. I am sure no questioned if Jerry West, Chamberlain, Russell would succeed in the league. I think Jimmer is worthy of a top 12 pick in this draft. Perhaps in another draft he would be in the 16-24 range.

Hey, what's one more Jimmer thread, right? Skip to the last paragraph if you don't feel like committing another 3 minutes of your life to Jimmer. The link: https://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/30321/will-jimmers-skills-translate-to-next-level

Get this article to every GM in the NBA! This is as airtight of logic as you can get. (couldn't this same article be written about pretty much any incoming rookie?)

The NBA is the big stage, and nearly every time Jimmer has been on a big stage he has stepped up including his pre draft workouts.

I think his dedication will lead him to success in the league and his professionalism is years ahead of many others. He is 22 after all.

Hope he is there at 12 and the Jazz take him.

Damn you for making stupidity seem so simple-minded.

Airtight of logic meaning that logic can't get in?

In my best case senario for Jimmer. He is there at 12. And the Jazz choose somebody else. Then Jimmer ends up being exactly what I expect. A bottom of the rotation guy that rarely plays when a game matter but is in their to score when the team is struggling offensively.
