LOL. OK, on Jimmer.
You keep going back to his recruiting video. Toss that out. We now have 187 minutes of him playing D1 ball and another 70+ minutes of him in exhibition games.
Here's what we know.
1. He's got a silky smooth jump shot and NBA range. Shooting 37% from 3's. Not the best but not bad for a frosh. He's been in a slump lately, I expect that # to go up.
2. He is a step slower than quick D1 guards. But he's a smart defender and can use his size and yes athleticism to keep his man in check. He leads the team in steals with 2/3 the minutes of the starters.
3. Bit of a liablity rebounding the ball from the wing position.
4. Started out solid on TO's but he's been TO prone lately. We'll watch that trend.
5. Can drive and dish or score. He might be the best guy on the team in creating his own shot from the perimeter, next to Burgess. But that might not be saying an awful lot for this team.
6. He would beat Mike Waters 21-0 in a game of one-on-one.
IMHO, he's a future star.
