This may as well be the Jimmer thread from here on out, actually. No need to make new threads about him, just stick to this one.Originally Posted by treach1976
18 points in 10 minutes 3rd best shooter in the league, IMO. (Nash and Allen)
Simple solution: If you don't want to discuss/read about Jimmer, don't click on a thread with the title "Jimmer."

Now, back to the topic at hand:
Although the game was a travesty, it's good to see Jimmer getting more confident out there. I'll take away that one small consolation prize out of tonight.

Jimmer is looking better and better. now if only they can find a way to save him on defense
You're really overstating the defensive point.
its hard to overstate a guard's defensive weakness when steve blake consistently beats him off the dribble...

Only kind of. Rewatch the 2nd quarter of this game. When the lakers went on their run it was largely due to jimmer not switching appropriately on d and it led to a lot of open baskets. The team does need to work a lot harder on d when jimmer is in and while his shooting is much improved this year it isn't near enough yet to warrant major minutes. More than brooks? Maybe
Jimmer is perfect off the bench... if the team can figure out how to effectively use players off the bench without destroying any kind of rythm the team may have... I am glad the coach played him enough tonight so he could score a lot but just not very happy with the other results that came of such great sub patterns
no one likes losing lol
Didn't get to see the game, but was looking at the box score....looks very impressive for Jimmer with 18 points in 10 minutes...The article did however say that most of the points came in garbage time but still, he shot like 7-9 or something, 3-5 from deep...
At that point however I was yelling more at Tyreke than Jimmer. Tyreke should have just stayed on Kobe. Let Blake beat us by scoring on Jimmer - the odds are lower than leaving Kobe open.
Nothing wrong with giving some praise to Jimmer on a very impressive offensive game last night.
Really good to see him confident with his dribble, knowing where he wants to go, no hesitation.
long ways to go but he's ironed out some of the really big problems he had last year.

Small sample size, but Jimmer is leading the entire NBA in PER. (Player efficiency rating) The next 4 on the list are Kobe, Melo, Bron and Harden.
Hmm...
After last night's game, it appeared that the Kings didn't really miss having Cousins and Robinson on the floor. Going forward, I believe this team should build around Jimmer Fredette and Travis Outlaw. If Jimmer doesn't want to stay in Sacramento long term, do you think that we'd be giving up too much if we traded him straight across for LeBron?
Yep. I clearly remember Tyreke doing this twice in a row and it lead to an easy Pau post move and a Kobe 3. On a team with Kobe, Pau, and Dwight, you let Steve Blake take as many shots as he wants
That doesn't work under the salary cap. We would have to send Jimmer, Salmons, and Garcia to bring LeBron back in a trade. Even if it were just Jimmer that would be a hard pill to swallow, but sending all three of those guys is just way too much. Obviously the Heat would jump at it but we're way too smart to trade away talent like that.
Easy solution - Keep Cousins and Robinson. Start Jimmer with Tyreke in the backcourt. Quite simple, actually.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Jimmer Fredette's NBA career has been a frustrating one for Cougar fans and undoubtedly for Jimmer himself so far. The former BYU great was relegated to scrub backup duty through most of last season and has scarcely left the bench through seven games this season, but his role may be increasing.
Fredette logged just 11 minutes in Sunday's 103-90 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, but provided 18 points on 7-9 shooting and 3-5 shooting from 3-point range. His performance warranted praise from his head coach Keith Smart.
“I have to make minutes for him on the floor right now,” Smart told the media following Sunday's loss. “He’s just too positive right now in what he’s doing. He’s kept a perfect attitude the whole time and I have to find ways to make sure he’s on the floor.”
Fredette has seen playing time in five of seven games and is averaging just 8.3 minutes. He's done the most with those minutes, however, and is averaging 9.3 points per game on .650 shooting from the field and .556 shooting from 3-point range.
“He’s not going into tight spots like he did last year,” said Smart before Sunday's game. “I just think he wasn’t aware of what to do in the NBA last year. Things went so fast last year from (preseason, which was) not even a week for the most part and then right into an NBA season — no training camp, no summer league.”
We'll be following Fredette's performance and provide weekly updates throughout the year.

Jimmer has the highest PER in the NBA, lol.
