whats all the hype about Jimmer...

His range is pretty average if you look at his games... can hit from the NBA 3pt line but his signature move - the big jump step thing that he does and then shoot a 3... he can only do it on the college 3 pt line and its always step to the left even if its very quick, if you read it or dont stick to the college 3pt line, come up and defend more aggressively.. it can be stop so it wont be as effective in the NBA.

he doesnt have the handles to create his own shots.

• Charlotte traded forward Gerald Wallace to Portland for center Joel Przybilla, forward Dante Cunningham, forward-center Sean Marks and a conditional 2011 and a conditional 2013 first-round draft pick. Waived guard Sherron Collins and forward Dominic McGuire.

Nuggets will win it and Melo will come back begging to part of a successful franchise. The Nuggets reject his advances and he ends up playing out his career on a Knicks team unable to make it past the 1st round of the playoffs :)

houston is that badly in need of a C? hasseem thabeet... Yao was bigger and more dominant offensively and they didnt even get into the finals... now they are taking up a project?

but to be fair, some people may be overrating Shane battier a bit since he is not much help on the offensive end and defensively people are giving him abit too much credit especially he doesnt have much athleticism.

If you can do one thing really well you will find a home in the NBA - Jimmer can score in bunches. Don't know home many BYU games you've watched but he actually creates his own shot pretty well and can get to the hoop.

I think he's a better shooter & scorer than what Reddick was when he came out and i think his career path will be similar. Picked in the 10-15 range, a season or two of adjustment & then a solid career as guy who spreads the floor and gives some scoring punch off the bench.

I have a feeling Jimmer will struggle in the NBA like how Reddick struggled in his first few seasons until he stepped up his defensive abilities. So if Jimmer doesn't develop on the defensive end he will not do as well as Reddick since he will be a liability on the defensive end... remember Adam Morrison? =P

Reddick broke most scoring records when he was in college but the NBA has a ton more defense and lock down perimeter defenders in it. Also Aldridge wasn't as good of a scorer in college but look at him blossom now in Portland. Chicago must be spewing for giving him away for Tyrus Thomas.

also he doesnt have really good passing ability... at 6'2, he would be majorly undersize to play at SG... so he is a combo guard who will struggle to start at PG unless he can improve his passing ability or he is in a team like the heat but too bad his defense isnt that good.

yes he is a guy who can spread the floor, and thats about it... I dont think his handles will be good enough in the Nba, sure against college guys but not against NBA guys when they much faster and even if they fall for your move, they recover so fast...

his range is pretty limited, I think... NBA 3pt line maybe just in his range or even comfort zone beyond that I have not seen him hit very often... considering guys like eric gordon and JJ reddick who doesnt even go near the college 3pt line and just sink it like nothing.

have you seen JJ reddick? he just catch and shoot from way outside of where the NBA 3pt line should be (contested) and just swish it while he was in duke... reddick have major range and a mid range game to boot.
