So Spaz, are you telling us that Jimmeny has a goat fetish? A fox fettish? A mouse fettish? Sounds like a slew of honor code violations.
Jimmer Belongs with the Jazz

If Jimmer is the best you can get at 12. Then trade the pick.

This.
As long as it is not a chick fetish it is fine.
If by fetish you mean he will make the shot in any situation, and under any amount of pressure then yes.
If by fetish you are thinking of something freaky and wierd that should be against any honorable individual's personal honor code.... then no.
I'm just saying, Watch him, watch him... and you may find you like nothing better than Jimmer's threes winning games in a Jazz uniform... and to accompany his fine game we have martian ham, pork from space!
Are you sure you are not breaking some type of honor code with some type of foreign substance?

I've watched him. I get the hype. Dude takes a ridiculous shot by squaring up to the basket in the air from ten feet beyond the three point line with three guys guarding him... and it goes in. That's amazing, but it's not the way I'd like to see the Jazz play for a laundry list of reasons. In addition, he hasn't shown the willingness or ability to play defense and he's not a great passer. In addition, he's short by NBA standards, especially for the shooting guard position which better matches his skill set. I'm resigned to the fact that the Jazz will draft him for marketing purposes, and once they do, I'll wish the best for him. If, on the other hand, some miracle happens that causes their draft to go in a different direction (let's say they win the lottery with the 12 pick and grab Williams then take Bismak with their second pick) I'll be ecstatic.
You have to take my comments with a bag o donuts, or pinch of salt or whatever.
I am 25% serious, and 75% absurdities. Someone has to have fun with this, or the serious off-season talk is going to give people stress headaches.
I'll get more serious when we know where we are picking, and after we have picked.
BTW, can you imagine Biswat Biyambo and Jimmer in your eye Fredette on the same team... unstoppable. That would be like having Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain on the same team... only Chamberlain would be white, short, and could shoot. Hey.... I can dream.
Then we should definitely get him... we all know Jimmer the Cobra Fredette always wins against a Mongoose.
He could be your nemesis... only you couldn't really fight eachother or anything because he would be playing in the NBA and you would be watching it.... but still.
That would be cool.

I'm not so sure about that.... He'll probably try and hustle one of my kids on a used car someday though, so the rivalry would ensue!

His prayers were answered in college, thats for sure! But any clown willing to go by a name like Jimmer, well I gotta believe his luck is gonna run out sooner rather than later.
Oh, are your kids in the market to buy famous people's used cars and sell them?
Let me know when they get some good finds, I could be in the market for the right price.

What are the differences between Jimmer and Curry?
Jimmer went to BYU?

Jimmer has as good of shooting range as I ever remember at the college level. However, I don't remember the last time I saw a player who got accolades who was as poor of a decision maker and who had very bad judgement in shot selection. Those things show up in a few peripheral ways on the stat sheet but are reason enough for me to say please don't draft this guy. And by the way, those thiings were never true of Nash, Curry, et al.

Check this out!!
"Most of the NBA players Fredette played with in Las Vegas last summer were favorably impressed with his overall game and his mental toughness and wherewithal. Few question that last part.
If he were two inches taller, Jimmer would be closer to a can’t-miss prospect. Still, his body is thick, which creates space for him, enabling him to better pass and shoot. His biggest challenge is at the other end. If he can find a way to D up, he’ll be an asset. If he were only marginal, he has enough offensive skill, in transition and in the half court, to make him valuable.
It’s worth noting that 15 years back, one pro scouting report on an unproven prospect read like this: “Biggest weakness is his man-to-man defense. His average foot speed makes him an easy target for small, quick point guards to blow by.” And another: “Not slow, but not quick, improving but still a poor defender, had trouble getting his own shot against quality opponents.”
That prospect? Steve Nash.
Just sayin’.
Whether you liked or didn’t like Fredette as a collegian, and local crowds loved him enough to come in droves to see him play, this much is true: Dude can ball.
He is a viable Jazz option — with that second lottery pick."
