Jimmer to the Jazz?

I think about the only team where Jimmer would be an effective contributor is any team that LeBron is on. LeBron might be the only player good enough defensively to cover for Jimmer, and Jimmer could sit in the corner and take a defender with him to open up the offense for LeBron.

Sorry I did not mean on the actual S.A. team. I am just saying a team with a system that does most of the work for him. Like if you go heavy on the bigs and want to stretch the floor for a few minutes.

I am not advocating Jimmer to the jazz. Just trying to see what people feel about him in a lmited role like that. Isee you disagree and you bring up a good point. While he would work there are plenty of others that work better.

Don't be sorry just having a conversation and your thread is a decent one

My comment actually goes for most teams in the league. In college Jimmer was a ball dominant player that was needed to score. The problem is the team that runs a system similar to that drafted him. And his skills are not good enough in the NBA to work in that role. Finding him a role on a team with a system may make him look better but isn't there players better suited to that role? My answer to that would be yes. I could see Jimmer on a team that needs a shooter off of the bench in a limited role. Preferably a team that has a stud at SG/SF that draws a lot of double teams and needs to space the floor. Like Miami or OKC. I just think his liabilities make him a much lesser option than a lot of other players available.
.
Since the Jazz do not have the kind of system or players I think Jimmer could co-exist with successfully and also don't believe his fans are worth the hassle. Therefore I don't want him on the Jazz.

Cant pass?... everyone in the nba can pass, its a very simple thing to do.
He can dribble just fine as well, and can get a bucket in a 1 on 1 situation depending on the situation and who is guarding him.

Like someone else said, if gary neal can play then there is a possibility that jimmer can as well.

I compared him to Gary Neal. Unfortunately I think Neal is a better player than Jimmer.
 
So lets hypothetically say the Jazz buy a late first round draft pick and trade it for Jimmer. Would y'all hate that move?

Huh, I thought cyrone made the comp.... either way, talent wise I can't see a huge difference between the two although I'm sure jimmer was better in college and a higher draft pick.
I don't think you, me, or anyone has seen enough of nba jimmer to determine how good he is or isn't yet but I see no reason he can't have a role similar to gary neal..... I mean we are talking about gary neal here, nobody had ever heard of him 2 years ago right?
 
Has Jimmer done anything so far to be deserved to be traded for even the #21 pick?

Didn't think so. Like Thomas Robinson (also a Kings castoff apparently), I would give a second rounder.

No he has not..... the question is why not?
Is he not as good as someone in the 21 range, or has he not been given the oppotunity.
It seems his 3 point shooting and free throw percentages are really good and I saw a lot of box scores where his plus minus was good.

If someone outside of utah was asked about burks, they would probably ask what he has done to be worth a 21st pick as well but most jazz fanz think he is but corbin just has not given him playing time
 
The Jimster is going to have a breakout season.....already has improved his 3 point shooting, promises to bust his butt on defense and would love to come to Utah and play in front of home town fans! I say make that trade!

I could say the same thing for myself. Not buying it.. Jimmer is a crappy Steve Kerr. Nothing more.
 
I get that there is a business aspect to this.... All I can say is yuck though. Please do not waste a pick to bring Jimmer over here. I would rather take the risk in the draft.
 
as a european jazz fan, It's or It will or It would be much worse than CJ, maybe even worse than Keith McLeod. Jimmer is not an NBA player... With his crap-like non existing defence, he could hardly be a role player in the Euroleague. He would just hope for a few corner 3's... Overhyped, overhyped...
 
jimmer is not an nba level player

despite the fact that he stinks as a player, he plays in nba and you still talk about him for the same reason j.bieber has success in show business
 
I find it funny that so many posters talk about how much they hate and fear the "Jimmer homers" when the large majority of this thread has been filled with blatant Jimmer hating.

All the hyperbole is definitely on the anti-Jimmer side in this thread xD

Obviously. I was just pointing out the irony in this particular thread.

I actually agree that the Jimmer zaniness will probably discourage the front office from making a move for him--the last thing they want is a constant media frenzy about Jimmer's playing time and a "civil war" at every ESA game.
