Look a few years back when he got some playing time.
He had back to back years when he shot nearly 50% from 3.

Last year he barely had any attempts. Sample size too small.

If jimmer is on your team and you play him allot he gets a decent amount of looks from three then he will make a high percentage.
He is a good shooter. This should not even be a question

Except if you play him a lot, it means you must really have some terrible guards.

Is Jimmer better than ANY guard we have on our roster?
NO!
 
Is he worth the max? Keep in mind that the max won't be the max once the cap increase hit, so he might be worth it.
 
If he shuts his mouth, and does what's told from a 7th man role, I'd be ok giving him a short, close to min contract.
 
As much as I very publicly was all about Jimmer around the time of his draft, I came to realize just over his time with the Kings that he has no hope of ever getting serious NBA minutes. My belief around that draft was that he could work on his defense, given how driven he appeared to be.

But there are just so many things about his game and physical skills and attributes that don't work in the NBA. Honestly, he'd be a bad fit on this team. We have young point and shooting guards who require precious minutes to develop well within this system. This is no time for a Jimmer reclamation project, as sad as I am for his career and what a good person I believe him to be.

I hope he does carve out a better career for himself going forward than the one he's had thus far. But yeah, I was definitely wrong on him a few years ago and I'll pass on him joining the Jazz, even if we trade Burke and Jimmer's available for short money. I don't think Quin is the miracle worker that Jimmer needs in order to salvage his career and we just can't spare the minutes he'll need.
 
Let's assemble an all-BYU platoon.

PG Jimmer Jammer Jean Jam
SG Spencer Haws
SF Brandon Davies
PF Araujo

6th man Travis Hansen

F this thread in the A. Right in the A.

So glad this is my 500th post. Stared at the bottom, now I' still at the bottom.

Perhaps that coach resides in Boise Idaho and his last name is Cooper.
 
I remember how mad thriller was at me because I told him Jimmer would be lucky to have as good of a career as Ronnie Price... Not only would he be lucky, but it would be a miracle.
 
I'm all for Jimmer being on the Jazz...




...maybe as a shooting coach? Although I think he needs to retire first...never heard of a player/shooting coach before.
