Default Jimmer as free agent

I keep watching and waiting. There is actually a chance that Jimmer will not be in the NBA next season.

Jazz want nothing to do with him. Doesn't look like the Bulls or Kings want him either.

If he stays in the NBA he will be on the veteran's minimum for 1 year. Like the castoffs on the Lakers.

Shame if it ends like this. Because it will feel like he never really got in the mix anywhere. The Kings don't count because they are complete cancers. And he never really got to play for the Bulls.

SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past

He became a sensational college payer after out of high school nobody but one mid-major school and a smattering of Big Sky schools wanted him. But he's not NBA material. No shame in that. I assume he gained a decent college education at BYU and the admiration of some LDS high rollers that he can put to good use. Time to move on.

I don't agree. He has a unique talent: shooting. Maybe not worthy of a #10 pick in the draft. But still worthy of being in the league. Mark my words!

To follow the reaction of Pelicans fans.

He will either perform or be Europe bound. Europe would suit his game, as he would not be penalized for a lack of defensive abilities.

I hate to admit that he isn't cut out for the NBA game, but it's the truth.

He would have done great in the 1983 NBA. But not today.

I am faltering in my belief, but I am still hopeful. I don't believe he landed in a good place in Sacramento, and this may be his last chance this side of Europe.
