Let the Jimmer- how athletic is he debate renew!

If Jimmer shows some good athletic ability and some ability to defend PG's in workouts that would answer my worries about him in the NBA.

So, Jimmer was so athletic last year, that NO TEAM would guarantee that they would pick him in the first round? Then he went and did nothing to improve that perception (for example, by playing outstanding defense) and now he is a lottery pick? Hmmm...Was this article written by Dick Harmon? You do know the DesNews printed an article a week or two ago saying BYU's safety with practically no experience is better than Rich, BYU has their best linebackers ever (even better than when they had Kehl and Poppinga and another kid that played in the NFL), and that their QB that was awful last year (his stats make Wynn look like an All-American) and did nothing against any quality competition will be a Heisman runner up and suddenly dominate top flight schools and their OC is the best in the nation, even though he has never called a game in his career.

I'm just saying the DesNews may over-rate BYU related players from time to time.

Cowherd on the radio the other day asked Pippen who the most under-rated player was he played against was? He said, "Mark Price." Cowherd asked him about a whole list of players, including Stockton, and Pippen kept going back to Price. I'm sorry. Jimmer is nowhere as good as Mark Price was. Price was a two time all-american, four time allstar, hit the 90/50/40 club. Jimmer is no Price.

Quite a bold statement re player who's never played a single professional game yet.

Leonards game actually reminds me more of Luol Deng. That's who I see when I watch him play.

That is what I see. Their athleticism is similar, defense ability, ability on the boards, height and length too and the mid range game as well as aggressiveness. If hr became anything close to Deng I would take him with the 6th pick. Deng is valuable in so many ways, especially defense

I don't think anyone is saying Jimmer IS mark price just that their games are similar. I think jimmers ability IF he applies himself Could have a career like price. That is his upside. But chances are he will be something less.

Exactly my point. Mark Price was a great player. Jimmer hasn't played a single game yet. Before we compare him to Mark Price, maybe we should hope for something a little more realistic. Eddie House maybe? JJ Reddick possibly? Not Mark Price.

Oh, ok. Sounds good. :D
 
Give me Singleton or go to Hell. But seriously, Kawhi doesnt merit a 6th pick and he wont be there at 12; even if he was, Id still strongly consider Singleton seeing as he shoots better/plays better defense.
 
Oh gosh, they just said on channel 2 that we're going to take one of the morris twins with our 12 and knight with the 6

They were reporting on what online mock drafts were saying. They didn't actually offer an opinion. It was actually pretty good journalism, you know, for sports.

I'd love to have me some Deng right now. He freaking shut down LeBron tonight. Holy crap the Bulls are good.
