He walked on water, restored sight to the blind, turned some water into grape-flavored Gatorade and hit 80% of his NBA threes.


Didn't raise the dead? I would pass on him at 3 until I see that happen.


I heard he brought Larry back to life but things went downhill pretty quickly when Larry started asking where Jerry was.

7 is too high for Jimmer.

I think people are falling in love with a work out guy and are forgetting that all of the issues that were there 3 months ago haven't magically disappeared.

He is still going to struggle to finish in the lane, he's not going to have a green light anywhere inside of 35 feet like he did in college, he will struggle defensively, and PG skills are still suspect.

If the Jazz took him at 12 I'd understand, but I still think he's a role player shooter at the next level. The Jason Terry/JJ Barea's of the world have elevated Jimmer's stock an insane amount in the past month, but people need to realize that Jimmer physically doesn't match either of those guys. Barea is quicker, Jason Terry is just better.

Jason Terry averaged 20/5 his second season in the league, his second season. That is phenomenal, and I just don't see Jimmer being able to do that.

I don't really think that Jimmer can finish at the rim at all in the NBA. But I don't care because that's not why you take him. His shooting ability makes the rim easily accessible for the rest of the team. Jimmer won't need to be able to finish with the way he shoots. He is going to hit clutch shots from the perimeter in meaningful games throughout his career. That's his mentality. Anyone who can't see that isn't paying attention to what he can do.

The Jazz won't be picking him w/out a trade. They're not going to pick him at 3, and he won't be there at 12. But he has the BBIQ, passing skills, playmaking and shooting ability to greatly benefit any team in the league.

Is he going to be a star? I don't know, and don't care. I think he'd be a great compliment guard to our current backcourt, and I think he would be willing to come off the bench for any team on a permanent basis. He shows no sense of entitlement, despite the hype surrounding him.

Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor relayed to Jimmer Fredette's camp Thursday that the Jazz are "terribly divided" on Fredette and whether to select him at No. 12, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Fredette's camp doesn't believe he will go to Sacramento at No. 7.

They are confident that if Utah passes on Fredette, he will go to either Phoenix at No. 13 or Indiana at No. 15."

Chad Ford and another ESPN analyst (don't remember who) both claimed that the Jazz like Kemba a lot more than Jimmer.
