Why this kid is even being compared with Jimmer by our fanbase is beyond me. Yes, Mac would likely play as a scoring PG for us, probably, as did Jimmer — but really, his offensive game is entirely different from Jimmer's. And Mac's defense is on another level.
Additionally, Pope's offensive strategy is a bit different from Rose's. I kinda doubt Pope would ever build his offense around a kid like Jimmer as thoroughly as Rose did.
