Jimmer Fredette withdraws from the draft

Mr. and Mrs. Fredette should be executed by firing squad for naming their child Jimmer. What kind of southern hillbilly **** is that.
 
This is old news and yet another problem with the NCAA on requiring their players to declare and withdraw from the draft before workouts even begin. It was rumored that New York guaranteed Jimmer they would select him in the second round, right after he pulled out. That's like the woman telling you she's on the pill right after you.... Well you get my point.

Um, he wanted a first round guarantee. You do understand a 2nd round guarantee means nothing, right?

Yeah, I know that, dude. What part of my post did you not understand? Do you think maybe players who workout with teams and have good workouts will raise their draft stock? I just reported what happened, brah.
 
Meh. His ward ball skillz wouldn't have translated to the NBA worth a damn. Worst. Crossover. Ever.

so if he makes it big, do you think there'll be a rash of babies named Jimmer?

and do you think it'd work equally well for boy babies and girl babies?
 
Personally I think Fredette will be able to score in the NBA. He is very skilled and strong. Defensively he needs to continue to improve and he needs to improve his ability to pass off the dribble. But I expect he will get drafted next year.
 
Ohhh! I see from the video that he has a football background. The second coming of Harp?
 
Jimmer thinking he MIGHT have a chance to go first round. Since when did they start selling weed at BYU?
Most of the guys like Jimmer just want a chance to go to the combine and get their names out there, so teams will be looking at them for next season. Stern is tired of that game and moved up the deadline for declaring by almost a month. It's one of the few things Herr Stern has done that I actually agree with.

Fredette will have a nice career in Europe.

Ya, that's not going to cut it in today's NBA. Ward ball? Yes. Against even D-League big-men? Not a chance.

I think the problem might be more with the quickness of the perimeter defenders, though his craftiness will certainly negate that a bit. I think an upgrade in decision making will take care of that first part. He doesn't have to shoot it when he is near the rim and surrounded by bigs, and I think he'll learn that. It seemed like he had a few games where he got stuffed multiple times in the paint, but I think most of them were games when he was battling Mono.

I think it all comes down to him being enough of a true a point guard. He's farther along in that regard then the Jaycee Carrolls of the world were, but he has a lot of developing do to this year in that role. He'll go first round if he can show that. He will surprise people at the pre-draft combine with his athleticism.
