Do y'all think Jimmer Fredette would be a good buy-low get? He can backup Lowry for a year, and if he shows well, could move into a starting role once Lowry inevitably bolts for Free Agency. I've always been fascinated with his offensive prowess, even moreso now with the play lately of Stephen Curry, a similarly potent offensive player.
from the Huffington Post.
"As things currently stand, Fredette is the third-string point guard on a 19-38 Sacramento team; interim coach Keith Smart recently benched him for 48 minutes five times in a six-week span. Jimmer is shooting 36.7 percent on 3-point attempts, undoubtedly a good number, but for him, not nearly good enough."
He's only a rookie but sounds like he gets the hook early and often. The good news is he did manage to play 16 mins per game so there is a sample size of what he contributed. He has next to no assists and needs to be a point guard in this league when by all accounts he plays like a 6'2 shooting guard who is mismatched on defence. As a scorer if they take away his reason to be he isn't going to be effective. Ross has similar rookie numbers except Ross is 6'6 and plays good defence. Makes me realize Ross has some scary potential. Jimmer is high risk.
