Jimmer to Spurs
What do the Spurs see in Jimmer that others don't?
Can their defense absorb his lack?
Thoughts...
Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette is on his way to San Antonio, according to league sources.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Spurs are searching hard for shooters, plan to give Fredette a chance to make roster. Deal includes modest financial guarantee, sources said
Marc Stein: ESPN sources say San Antonio is indeed finalizing a deal to sign Jimmer Fredette. Spurs are always on the lookout for shooters and want to give Fredette his shot in the San Antonio system
Except that jimmer has played in the NBA for a few seasons, already a multimillionaire, and has a chance to make the roster as he attempts to stretch his career so he can qualify for the NBA's pension plan. Not really at the same place as the rookie, O'Brien, who has never played an NBA game and really has no shot at making the Jazz.Jimmer is now officially at JJ O'Brien level - partially guaranteed minimum contract to be secured as a body at training camp.
It's a camp invite, but I called that on this site a few times. I always thought the Spurs were the best for him. Now, he could fill the role left by Bellineli.
