Dude, it's hard enough to watch Jimmer while living here in Utah. It's ok if you haven't watched him. It seems like you're regurgitating stuff written about him online. I've seen 3 full games of Jimmer this year and I've been impressed. I'm not saying he'll be a great NBA player, but I'm not going to say he's not going to suck either.

How does he compare to Ronnie Price when he lead the NCAA in scoring?



So did Ronnie Price in college. Just saying.

Huge difference between BYU's schedule and Utah Valley State College's.

Also, their games are completely different. Ronnie relies on his athleticism. Jimmer relies on his skills.

Unlike Ronnie, Jimmer can shoot. He's a basketball player playing an athletic sport. Ronnie Price is an athlete trying to play a sport called Basketball.

I've seen him play 1 time this year but watched the most of the NCAA tournament last year, saw him a couple of times last year, too. For international basketball fans, one with a little help from IP or Proxy changers might be able to use ESPN online network and can immediately follow CBS coverages when they broadcast the tournament games on the net or if he has private satellite providers. Anyway, you're right that with a little watching experience, it's hard to evaluate correctly. However, this is why you follow some forums and draft sites to consolidate your viewpoints, right?

This exactly.

Also to the person who wanted to know about Jimmer's stats vs. Price:

Ronnie's Senior year he shot 42%, and 35% from three. This year, Jimmer shoots 48%, and 41% from three. Jimmer is obviously a much better shooter, who has his best games against big-time opponents. Also, he's averaging 4.4 Assists per game, versus Ronnie's 3 APG. Jimmer is a MUCH better pro prospect than Ronnie was, which is obvious because Jimmer is a first rounder.

This isn't as relevant as you'd like it to be. Price could have played at better schools, but had a transfer under his belt coming to UVU and didn't want to make another (he turned down offers). Who knows how he would have been prospected if he had played for a larger school.

Obviously Fredette shoots better than Price did. Price also had to create a lot of his own offense and carried that team on his back.

I'm not knocking Fredette or anything, but I'd like to hear from someone who has actually watched both in college action.

Still doesn't change the schedule he played.

Price carried the team because Dick Hunsaker wouldn't let anyone else shoot the ball or he would pull them from the game. True story.

I have. Fredette is better.
 
I think Jimmer's game would translate well as a Jazz man. One downside: "Jimmer" may be the gayest name in the history of names. If Utah somehow gets him, can I just call him Jim?
