I think a big part of it is he just doesn't look the part.

I think he could be successful in the NBA, but he just doesn't look like he belongs out there. I can't see a coach taking a chance on him, there is no upside for a coach to play Jimmer. And that is what it would take, someone to go out on a limb for him.

I wonder why he couldn’t develop into a JJ Barea

Barea is a far superior ball-handler and probably quicker

He destroyed Utah. Consistently

Maybe so, but my point was why didn’t he go down that development path?

You'll have to ask him why he never improved much as a ball-handler.
