Thoughts on Jimmer Fredette
No, I'm not advocating him for the Bobcats.
But I am curious to hear your opinions on what caliber of player that you think he can become in the NBA.
Is he just another in a long line of undersized high scoring college shooting guards that never quite make it big in the NBA ( see Jodie Meeks )
Will he be a Morrison-esque bust?
Or will this kid be the one that turns into something special?
according to chad ford (who has a good handle on these things) the scouts are mixed. some think he will be fine some think he will not because all of the reasons you mentioned. i think he will be very team dependent like jj reddick. put him on a solid team like the spurs, magic, celtics he will be an asset put him on a team like the bobcats and he will be a disaster.

Yeah he definitely reminds me of JJ
dude has great work ethic, something morrison never had. He has pretty good athleticism and can score all over the court. He will be a first rounder and probably first rounder. Funny because the Bobcats could definetly use him on offense haha. The downside about him is that his shot selection is iffy and defense isnt very good. Shot selection i get because he is man among boys in that conference and for his team to win he needs to shoot, however all in all he will probably go late first and be solid role player for team like spurs in beginning of career
He won't be a first rounder. He's a fantastic college player, but likely won't play much (if at all) in the NBA.
wont play much at all? whats difference between him and anthony morrow or sasha vujacic? they get PT and Jimmer has more upside
Sasha is a legit 6'7 and a more than adequate three point shooter. Morrow is 6'5, can score in as many ways as Fredette, and STILL went undrafted.
Fredette will be better than Courtney Lee, first rounder. same height. I mean Nate Robinson is in league and he a 5'7 Shooting Guard.
Nate is in the league as much for the sideshow as anything else. Plus the guy is an insane athlete (something Fredette isn't). He's going to have to show an ability to play D because guys like Lee are capable of locking an opponent down (something else Fredette hasn't shown).
I don't think he will be a bust. Late bloomer in the NBA, quality bench guy.
