OT Jimmer Fredette Named MVP Of D-League All-Star Game

[Natebishop3]

What's a Jimmer?

 

[Strenuus]

Bayless won MVP of summer league, not D league. On that note, isn't it called the G-League now?

Next year. Not this year.

Too bad the Blazers don't have a roster spot available. The way the Blazers have been playing it sure couldn't hurt much.

We need more guards who can't play defense.

Why not, we like centers who miss more threes than they get personal fouls. Jimmer can make them.

He's a shorter, even less versatile version of Allen Crabbe. At least he's cheaper. So yay for that.

But he's also rumored to be an arrogant, entitled asshole. So, I rescind my previous yay. Sorry, I got all caught up in Jimmermania. It won't happen again. I promise.

Crabbe needs just a little of that mentality.

Why do we need to sign anybody?

 

[riverman]

Jimmer is an undersized ball hog......Aaron Brooks was a superstar in China...and he's way better than Jimmer. Also an undersized ball hog. Both defensively terrible

Jimmer has been outright waived by multiple crappy teams. When you have a $2.5 million guaranteed contract and you get waived by a team that is 20-37 a week AFTER the trade deadline and they don't sign anyone to replace you, that means you're pretty much worthless.

He was also waived by NOP 9 days after signing a $948K contract with them. Talk about buyer's remorse...

This is the last guy we should ever consider signing. At this point the guy is 28. So, it's not like you can even use "potential" as a reason to sign him. Leave him to the SACs, NOPs, NYKs of the world to sign and release. No thanks. Not even on a 10-day contract.

Because @BigGameDamian thinks we need "vets".

I thought that was Oliver Miller but apparently it is some AND1 guy by the name of Troy Jackson, who is the brother of Mark Jackson. I wonder if there was a 3rd Jackson brother and if this Troy guy ate him. Edit: I just saw that this guy is also deceased so that was in poor taste. RIP big man.
