I think that's part of the problem. So many 2 guards are 6'5" or taller and athletic that Jimmer has no shot at defending them. Just leaves the team in trouble if they have a not tall PG along with a not tall SG.

Unless something drastically changes, looks like Jimmer is done in the NBA

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

They could pick him up for, y'know, basketball...

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

That is what confuses me. They chide his defense but others D

Going 0-6 in 15 minutes Game 1 and 0-0 in 10 minutes in Game whatever sure

It's like almost as if there's more to making it in the NBA than shooting and D

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

That, and he was one of the smartest basketball players in the game and is now

Heard whispers that his D is a lot better, but has trouble bringing the ball

Isn't Jimmer the 2spot though?

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...

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

Europe Baby. He'll be a superstar abroad.

I agree

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.

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

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

USSR? Was he playing pro in 1986?

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

Dr T-bone

I doubt he makes it much longer - they will part ways with a few more DNP's
