It seems the Jazz are worried about the "Jimmer" fans and how they....

....react when Jimmer does not play.....and the Ute fans who hate Jimmer because he played for BYU.

But you are right, he could be a guy that comes off the bench easily and plays a few minutes each quarter. Not sure why NBA teams are reluctant to sign him.

Yeah, somehow Jamaal Crawford has been doing it for 20 years.

Jamaal has a 6'10" wingspan and can (could) jump.

I know the reason but it would probably get me benched for a day or two

I wonder if there's a little of the "Tebow" effect where teams are worried

Yes, mostly this.

Did you just compare Jimmer not getting a job to Kaep?... This is peak CB.

In that the circus effect is real, and part of the reason neither are in their

Look, I love Jimmer, but there is a reason he was a journeyman in the NBA

Devouring1

The circus and his ego are reasons.

Maybe the NBA teams are colluding to keep Jimmer out 🙂

Similar issue for different reasons. If a player's stardom brings up issues that

Jimmer is the biggest star that isn't remotely a star. Go figure.

I feel like he could be a JJ Reddick clone for an nba team

Reddick is an expert spot shooter. Jimmer needs the ball in his hands to

This is exactly the issue. Jimmer’s skill set doesn’t have a place in the NBA.

Completely different styles. Redick does his scoring coming off screens and does

Reddick doesnt need the ball to get his shot. I dont think Jimmer excels running

Reddick worked to be a very decent defender - plus he’s got decent size

That many points is not super ridiculous in China.

Dillinger

JR Smith averaged 35 PPG the one year he played there.

11/12/18 4:18pm

Russ Smith did it 3 times last year? Whoever Jimmer played had like 65.

Dillinger

Because they're mostly guys with the length and athleticism to get it done on

11/12/18 4:23pm

Isn't it obvious why Jimmer didn't make it in the NBA but thrives in China?

Medute

11/12/18 4:42pm

This is the best take of all of why Jimmer is not in the NBA.

That makes all sorts of sense, but still hard to believe a guy with his
