upcourt. Teams pick him up in backcourt and harass him either into a turnover or too much time off the play clock to effectively run the offense.
Anyone watched the Penguins enough to know if that's true?

Jazz will pick him up for publicity purposes if they're not smart

I would be fine for him becoming a foreign sharpshooter...

I haven't seen him play in years, but someone said the other teams just isolate

Not really. What happens is he just rides the pine.

Amazing considering some guys that have made it in the NBA

Hornacek's athleticism was vastly underappreciated. His hand quickness was great

Mantis Mutu

Yeah, I think I said Hornacek was taller. Maybe it was just my imagination.

You did. But the two really aren't comparable as players. It was much more than

Absolutely. All-around Jeff was better

There's that word again.

Isn't Jimmer the 2spot though?

Probably seen as too short for that.

Haven't watched a lot of Penguins games. I"m not really a hockey fan.

If only he an Lemieux were on the same line

^^^ Bingo! His defense is not great, but it's not abysmal. The real problem...

Being the next Jeremy Lin isn't what it use to be

I just want him to get a consistent, legitimate chance over time. He's getting

Europe Baby. He'll be a superstar abroad.

T-Rex

I agree

Ironhide

I understand supporting your boy.....but he is not getting the shaft.

He has shown he can score when he gets more than 6 minutes every 5th game. I

It would be suicide for the Jazz if they signed Jimmer.

Jimmer will make good money in Europe.

PhilPete

White guy, sharpshooter, doesn't play defense. He'll fit right in.

Travis Hansen made a very good living in Spain and USSR/Russia

teams keep trying to use him as a spot up shooter he moves OK without the ball
