    The difference between him and Redick coming in the league is that Jimmer really has a game on the bounce.

    He will be fun to watch..

    What separates fredette is exactly that. The guy has moves with the basketball, a killer jump shot, and he is fearless on the court.

    There are not too many players that have that combination. You might have a good J, or you might be able to keep the ball on a string, or you might be a crafty player. But to have ALL 3, is rare.

    If Jon Barry can make it 10 plus years, he can make it too.

    He's too small, and doesn't play defense.

    He isn't in a good system either so he's going to be a BUST.

    He obviously has the tools to be at least a Steve Kerr-type role player. But if that last shot of his where he made a running three pointer leaning to his right is actually part of his repertoire and not a fluke, then he might be something special.

    Jimmer will be just fine on the NBA level. His usage will go way down with better players around him, so don't expect him to fill up the box score every night, but he'll be effective when they call his number. That limited usage on offense should also result in him becoming a better defender, given all the extra energy he should have.

    I imagine he'll also do wonders for the King's offensive spacing, since you can essentially never go under a screen on the guy, even if it's 30 feet out. He'll be extremely valuable in late game situations due to that fact, and his elite level free throw shooting.

    Though you can't tell from that video... Thomas outplayed him in the scrimmage (then again little Isaiah is trying to earn PT where Jimmer isn't)

    I don't see it. Curry is very polished and makes great decisions with the ball. All Jimmer does is launch jumpshots.
