Here is the #1 problem with Jimmer: his handle isn't good enough to be a PG,

and he isn't big enough or good enough defensively to play the 2 for long stretches. If he had a good handle and could run the point then they could hide him on defense, like they do with many other defensively awful PGs. Can't do that with a 2.

This D-League experiment could not be going any better for Jimmer.

Jimmer needs to be Jamal Crawford/Marreese Speights

That's the thing no one wants to put the offense in the hands of a 6 ft

There are plenty of instant offense bench players

Ya but those guys were 'athletic'. No one wants to put their offense in Jimmers

It's not their whole offense. It's 10-15 minutes a game max.

Eddie House as well but these guys didnt need the ball in their hand

Jimmer needs the ball in his hands for 15-20 sec of every shot clock to be

I disagree that he has to have the ball. His is effective spotting up too.

It was terrible with the Pelicans and pushed him out of the league

Not really.

I get that Neto is a pretty solid defender, a bit of a pest and Jimmer can't

It really is incredible how blind Jimmer fanatics are.

How many teams were knocking on Neto's door when the Jazz drafted him

smokymountainrain

2/13/16 9:55pm

Plenty of teams would give him an opportunity now..

Teams weren't clamoring for Gobert when the Jazz drafted him late 1st rd either

And yet Jimmer was a massive bust and Neto was a steal.

I'm not sure you can call Neto a huge steal yet. He is a solid defensive player

I didn't call him a "huge steal". I said he was a steal.

My main concern judging from his D-league highlights is that he does not seem to

Nothing about the d league can be considered "unreal"

My post isn't about the D-League, it's about Jimmer.

So, what you're saying is that an NBA GM needs to give a fringe NBA player at

Read my post again. I said that Jimmer likely hasn't proven anything to GM's

Duke Silver

2/13/16 10:19pm

You're right, you said coach, not GM

What is a "Jimmer fan"? Who on this board is not a fan of Jimmer?
