Dude got 20 pts already in the 1st half and his teammate got 8 points and the rest has zeros...that is amazing lol

The thing about him is, he can get his shot off anytime he wants. I'm wondering if he can do the same in the NBA. But, one things for sure, he is more than just a jumpshooter. He's also very capable off of the dribble, as I mentioned.

He should be JJ Reddick 2.0 lol with a handle. I didn't know Wally becomes a college analyst or something

Harrison Barnes is a Small Forward.

Enes Kanter is a Center.

You said you didnt like Kanter because there are many available free agent Centers. I suggested that you have it wrong because there are many more available Small Forwards in FA than there are Centers.

Is that clearer?

all the SFs are restricted FA's. Green,Young,Chandler all RFAs. Perkins,Dalembert,Chandler all UFAs with Oden/Gasol/Jordan being RFA's and Nene possibly opting out. Ill take a SF first because we have Ed at the 4 and then id look at a C via FA. Id rather have Barnes + Dalembert/Chandler/Perkins then Kanter and ?. Plus we dont have a ton of cap space (without dumping Barbosa/Calderon) so a MLE type deal for Dalembert/Chandler/Perkins is more realistic than putting everything into a SF (which may or not get matched)

We'll know by the trade deadline about Wilson Chandler. If Melo is still a Nugget, or is rented to a team like Houston, the Knicks will have to renounce Chandler to sign him, and the Knicks also believe they have a shot at Chris Paul or Dwight Howard the following summer and aren't going to go over $10 million to keep Chandler.

If Fredette does this in March/April when the competition is tougher, he's going to make it into the top seven or eight. Just like Curry. Phenom scorers are irresistible.

I have to agree. Definitely has a chance if he can repeat his performance last year. He can score in a variety of ways. People compare him to Redick, and while JJ was an accomplished scorer in his own right, I think Fredette has more tricks in his bag than Redick did.

Curry seems like an apt comparison. But, I'm trying to see what kind passer Jimmer is...except he never passes the ball lol. I guess when you're that hot, you can call your own number.

Holy Fredette is MJ of college basketball, the dude is killing it

He's destroying the 6th ranked team in the nation in the Aztecs.

He knew that there would be a national spotlight on this game.

BYU is only up 4 though. Jimmer has to get others involved.

San Diego St is one of the best teams in the country, and is better then anything BYU will face in round one or two. He will get a chance to play them three times before the tournament.

BYU plays sdsu only once more this year, and then I guess in tourney play. so thats 2 more times.

Jimmer will face some good competition in the tourney because BYU is going to be a 2 seed almost forsure.

If they lose tonight its extremely doubtful a second place team from the MWC would get a 2 seed. Anyway they should be a top 4 seed and make it to the second weekend.

BYU will almost 100% get a atleast a 2 seed. they are so underrated right now. they have absolutely dominated this year. They will be top 5 if they win tonight.
