Jimmer Fredette Finalizing Deal With Spurs

[RightToCensor]

You can make the WCF with 40+x minutes of horrible perimeter defense at SG.

DRtg isn't horrible
DWS isn't horrible
Defensive Box Score +/- is good
Averaged 1.6 steals per game in the postseason (which is good for 14th most)

Jimmer is PG insurance in case that Patty gets injured and to back him up those nights Parker get a DNP -Old

[KNOW1EDGE]

Jimmer's last and best opportunity to carve out a spot in this league.

Stacked. No excuses

[wang4three]

What does 'using Jimmer correctly' even entail exactly?

Sending him out to stand in the corners and chuck threes while guarding the other team's backup PG, (if he's not a decent one) and then rushing him back to the bench as soon as a decent player gets put back in?

I mean, I can see it working for the Spurs, but it's not like the dude 'fits' in any particular system outside of being a three point specialist.

I think if Jimmer's allowed to be a Ben Gordon 6th man type of role, then I think that's a good fit for him.

[Jailblazers7]

We'll probably see him play the same role that Gary Neal played a couple years ago with SA.

Spurs play deep, so sometimes they want guys who aren't starter caliber players, but still provide a specific skill at an NBA level.

Jimmer can't defend at an NBA level. Jimmer CAN score at an NBA level. He's averaged 16.2 pp-36 in his career, including 3 straight seasons of 18+ pp-36
40% of his shots have been 3's, and he shoots them at 38% (even when everyone knows that's the spot he wants to shoot from, and he shoots a lot of them off the dribble)

patty over jimmy any seconds

no excuses

There's no use in giving up on a guy with Jimmer's shooting stroke. The kid can do only one thing, but he does it too well to just ignore it. If the Spurs managed to make something out of Matt Bonner's skills for so long, doing it with Jimmer won't be much of a challenge, all it takes is something that Bonner has that some elite player don't: Effort.

[morbius]

Cheap replacement for Belineli who was too expensive with Aldridge on the roster.

[dab0yech0]

Fills Bellinelli's role as the shooter off the bench. Good for him its a good fit

[jzek]

Future FMVP?

THIS GUY CAN'T DRIBBLE,CAN'T CREATE HIS OWN SHOT,HORRIBLE DEFENDER,BAD SHOT SELLECTION,I BET SPURS WILL WAIVE HIM AFTER TRAINING CAMP

[Paul George 24]

NO WAY

MARCO CAN DRIBBLE,CATCH & SHOT MUCH BETTER THAN HIM EVER BEEN,HE IS NOT EVEN AS GD AS GARY NEAL

[IGOTGAME]

unorthodox 'great' players fit well with what the Spurs do.

all their late pick successes, Parker, Ginobili, Diaw etc. were good because they were ballers.

Jimmer is a baller, it is not that Jimmer fits this system or that system it is simply that the Spurs cater to people who know how to play the game.

HUGE deal

those guys are have great court sense and IQ. Jimmer does not have these things...if he did he would be a good point guard. he is a chucker
