Not to continue to beat this dead horse, but as I was watching Dallas-Portland game last night, I was thinking that Jason Terry has forged out a decent career as an undersized quasi SG/PG. Is Jimmer's game, and his potential, anywhere near comparable to Terrys? (As a side note, I really like Terry's game and would love to have someone with his skill set on the team.)
I suspect this question/topic has already been raised, possibly several times, but I don't feel like plowing through the hundreds of posts on the numerous Jimmer threads to find out.

That would probably make some people happy, but I doubt Jimmer could come up with anything remotely approaching "Just Watch the Fireworks."
p.s. I'm not a Jimmer homer, as I've stated, I'm on the fence about him.
BEST SONG OF THEIRS. Rep-ed.

On their best album--one of the best of the 90s (IMHO).

He is nowhere near as athletic as Terry, that is the problem.

As far as his athleticism, I think that it is ok, and his offensive ability definately is there, but I feel that his defensive skill is atrotious and he has a lot of work to do defensively and with his passing. He will be a great player in the NBA, but that doesnt say how far he will be able to take a team within NBA standards. He needs to do something besides shoot the ball. F***all the Jimmer homers and F***all the Anti's. Cant there be an balance between the two?

If JJ Barea can survive/start/role-player in the league, I think Jimmer will be fine. I'd much rather see Jimmer shoot than Bell, AK, Watson, and Miles.
For me at least, the question isn't about whether he can survive in the league or not. The question is will he be BPA at #12, and on a larger scale, can a team afford to let players coast on defense? Can a player that has never put an effort in on that side of the court (whether he has been told to preserve his effort/fouls is not only beside the point, but a cop out) suddenly learn how to when the competition is so much steeper it's hardly even comparable and at a relatively old age? I think allowing players to coast on D creates a toxic environment on a team as it creates almost a class system among players and it undermines the base principle of working as a team to win as a team. It undermines the notion that everyone has to put in the same effort, regardless of their natural ability or productivity. Champion teams generally don't undermine that philosophy, and the only exceptions are so stacked with talent that they're undeniable (early 2000's Lakers are the only to come to mind). The Jazz will never be that team. I don't believe a team based in an area like Utah has many, if any, advantages at all, and there would not be a margin of error to allow some kid with a shot to undermine the true nature of a winning team.
Jimmer can probably - at worst - come off the bench and help a team score some silly buckets. He might even learn to care about not embarrassing himself on one side of the court on every possession of every game. He might learn that shooting 30-foot shots isn't really practical and doesn't help you win. Who ****ing knows. But we've seen none of that. Rather, his defense has somehow gotten WORSE with time as has his shot selection. If the Jazz are really looking at him to be their franchise PG like Chad Ford alleges then they are making a totally retarded bet. I have reservations about him coming off the bench, having him play against starting PGs and playing major minutes projects to be a cripplingly retarded move to me in terms of what that means for championship aspirations. Go down the list of starting PGs in the NBA and NO ONE can HONESTLY tell me or anyone else Jimmer would be anything but an embarrassment against more than half of them.
Teams that are serious about a championship cannot afford trash like that. If Jimmer wasn't a Jo Bro from BYU, people would say his play was pure hopper garbage.
