Your point is trash and makes no practical sense. You just practically agreed with me. If Stockton - in game - is faster than the person guarding him and can stay in front of almost anyone, who ****ing cares if he can beat them in a x-distance race that isn't a game?

Dude, my point makes perfect sense, you just can't grasp it. Stockton isn't in a top tier of fast NBA players. Like I said, Steve Nash isn't that fast, but he's quick and deceptive. That's why he can beat people on the dribble a lot of the times, but not because he's faster than them.

He's probably one of the fastest guards still. Did you never watch the Dantoni Suns teams? Please tell me your Nash is slow statement is a joke.

Nash, as of the past 4 or so years has definitely slowed down, but he doesn't need to be fast. He's deceptive, quick and long-winded. When he first came into the league, I couldn't tell you how fast he was, cause I never saw him. But I doubt he was lightning fast, guy.

He is and was quick/fast. Back to Jimmer. His problem is he's a one trick pony. He can shoot. His ceiling is JJ Redick. But even so Redick was a far superior college player.
 
Is it set in stone that Jimmer is a first rounder?

Draft Express has him pegged as a mid-second rounder: https://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2011/

Additionally, from what I'm reading about Jimmer's skill set (I watch very little college basketball for the record) it sounds like he's the kind of guy that tends to fall on draft boards in the days prior simply because he's got a perceived lack of athletic upside and he's already a senior in college. Both make him look more like a finished product than a growth stock.

It's probably quite possible he could end up as a second rounder.

Jimmer has a much better driving game than Redick had in college. Back to Nash, I'm not saying he's a "slow-mo", I'm just making a point that he's not or hasn't been the fastest player on the court when he plays. I understand my choice of words "slow" is drastic, but I'm just adding to my point that he's not know for being the fastest guy in the league.

I totally agree. It will be interesting to see how high he rises or how low he'll actually get drafted. With that being said, I'm really interested to see if his game will translate.

Maybe were talking about two different steve nash's? I bet Iverson was faster.....
