    nice find. thanks for posting.



    can his scoring ability translate to the nba level? we know he will always be a great shooter who can't guard a chair, but can he create and make his own shot in the nba? this is the difference between jason terry and steve kerr. can he become a passer and run the offense like a true pg in a mark price mold?

    if the answer was yes to all of those he would be a top 3-5 pick. if the answers are all "no"'s then he could fall out of the lottery.

    my prediction: teams see him as a shooter who can actually handle the ball well enough to have potential as a PG and not just a tweener shooter like eddie house or steve kerr. as for scoring, taller PG's will give him trouble, good defensive PG's will give him trouble, but smaller pg's and bad defenders will give him the chance to become a scorer like in college. could make a good 6th man right away, with potential to develop into a starter. could land in the 6-10 range.

    If all Jimmer does is become a Steve Kerr, that will be a better career than 95% of the players drafted between 10 and 20 in the history of the NBA.

    IMO his upside = Ben Gordon, without the athleticism and lateral quickness.

    The harsh truth is that he would be best suited as a role player coming off the bench on a playoffs team.

    He is way better than Ben Gordon is. The only reason I don't like Jimmer is because he is an insane ball hog. Russell Westbrook level ball hog. But he is a huge scorer, much more than Gordon is.

    I know we all say this because he was at college.....BUT my question is would he still be in the NBA with stars around him...and I don't think that is a question that can be answered yet. When we say he was a ball hog at college I think we kinda need to realise that he had to be.....if he wasn't then I don't think his team would have been successful and it was probably under coaches directions that he played that way.

    Definitely very interested to see how he pans out at the higher level with higher level players around him.

    He's white. Gordon is black. Most NBA "fans" take that as an insult - the mere thought that any white guy could be better at basketball than any black guy.
