Is Jimmer Fredette Mormon?

[Archie Moses]

I actually know Ronnie prices wife. Don't knownif he is or not but his wife comes from good Mormon stock. Her parents are big wigs in amway. My wife was her nanny when she was growing up. For those in Logan from the south end of the valley will know the bybees

That was pretty difficult to read and understand. Thanks for the info though. I never knew he was married.

I'm amazed it took that many posts for someone to figure that out make mention of it. I suppose I should rep you for that.

Jazz have never drafted from BYU as far as my google-fu can tell and there are only 2 players that have been Mormon, Andy Toolson and Thurl Bailey, who was not Mormon while he played in the NBA. Am I missing something?

Didn't Fred Roberts play for the Jazz for about 5 minutes?

Every player who has ever played on the Jazz or in the history of the NBA is Mormon sooner or later...well just get them when they are dead.

Hoffa would come the closest to this comparison. Though he was from BYU I don't think he joined the church...but I believe his wife is....also we didnt draft him.

Jazz passed on Mark Madsen in the 2000 draft for DeShawn Stevenson.

Madsen arguably would have been a better pick being he was more NBA ready and at the time Jazz were a win-now team.

Al Jefferson is taking the discussions.

Fes is mormon.

if so, that increases his chance being drafted by jazz

Sure increased Shawn Bradley's chances, or Danny Ainge's chances, or Keth van Horn's chances, or Steve Young's chances, or Michael Doleac's chances, or the many other Mormons that have been in professional basketball and not played for the Utah Jazz.

In other words, less trolling and more deleting of your account is requested.

In defense of GSAT's position, he is talking about drafting those players, not simply having them ever play here in their career. We were never in a position really to draft those guys to begin with so it is a moot point.

That said, no it means nothing if Jimmer is mormon and whether the Jazz will draft him or not.

Really if the Jazz end up somehow with a late first-rounder picking up Jimmer would not be worst thing in a rather thin draft. Anything higher than about 14 or 15 is a travesty, although most draft board have him in the top 12 right now.
