You may be directing your question to me .. since I said he could be a good 7th or 8th man. I did mean on a team, not in the NBA. Too lazy to look up what I said, but that's what I meant.

I've always liked Jimmer. Love his game and attitude in college. He definitely went too high in the draft though. Has major decision issues still as a PG, but can you people honestly say he wouldn't be as good or better than Watson or Tinsley? The odds are against that happening instead of picking up another PG option to pick up.
He'd be worth picking up just to play off the bench. There's a chance he even might even *gasp* develop in a better system.
Sactown is a HORRID place to learn how to play the NBA game, along with many other teams.
There are some haters here for sure. "I think I see some Yeeewts calling out the Zooobs". However I see where some people just wouldn't want the headache of bringing in someone who brings in that much locally overplayed hype. It could still work out well. Jimmer needs structure and the Jazz need a young PG that can shoot.
Sorry guys, he'd be a great 2nd PG off the bench. I'd take him in a heartbeat, but I don't see it happening.

Maybe, but he has to get off the Kings.
He wouldn't have to be a savior here. He's a 3 pt/scoring punch off the bench. He shouldn't be forced into being a PG when he clearly isn't. As long as his role is clearly defined I don't see a problem.
Never been a huge fan of Jimmer, but I wouldn't mind him in that role on our team. Coming home/different role could help him.

I'm not blind to ****. I've stated multiple times on this board, dating back to before last year's draft, that I would gladly get behind Jimmer if he wasn't one-dimensional player playing the most important position on the court with absolutely ZERO skills for that position. I would never deny his ability to drain a shot, but that's literally all he can do. He can't pass, he can't handle the ball, he can't play defense, he could barely get to the rim in college and he sure as hell can't get to the rim in the pros.
It's been said over and over again that any move by the organization to bring Jimmer here would not be a basketball decision, it would be a business decision. It would be about putting his name on a jersey and getting BYU fans to buy more tickets. And BYU fans would be calling for Corbin's head if Jimmer didn't get 30 minutes a game. It would become nothing more than a distraction.
The only people "blind" here are the BYU fans that keep making these ridiculous threads about bringing Jimmer to Salt Lake. Knock it off, idiots.

Someone will have to find a link about KOC saying he wanted to draft Jimmer. I never heard that nor that he was trying to position to draft him. KOC is always polite and complimentary talking about him but what is new. I seriously doubt the Jazz take Jimmer over Burks if they were both still on the board. And I am amazed that anyone can think Jimmer is an upgrade at this point over Watson or Tinsley. Those two are both serviceable back ups. Jimmer may become that and I would not be surprised to see him become a Jason Terry type guy. Based upon last year - no where close. Again, his coach admittted he was not sure he could make Jimmer a NBA PG and JF struggled to get minutes on a bad team with a rookie playing in front of him. It is not coincidence that Kings signed Brooks.
