He brought the ball up the court many times last season without difficulty. You don't have to go to extremes to make your point. His first year he struggled, but last year he improved. You can refuse to acknowledge it if you want, but facts are facts. Does that make him great? No, but I'd like to see how much he's worked on his game this offseason. They don't have guaranteed contracts in the NFL, and they also have a hard cap. Different animal. They also have a roster four times the size of an NBA team.
Oh, well good for jimmer. What's to discuss? He a pg who many times last year got the ball past half court? Is that the best you can say about him?
He was drafted to be the starting PG. I'm not sure he has the skills to do that even in the d league. So his position is sg? We already have 2-3 of them (salmons, mclemore and Thornton) who are way better or show way more potential than he does. As horrible as salmons is, he's still a better defender than jimmer. Salmons might be the only avg defender in the backcourt right now. The rest are below avg.
There's a reason everyone was jumping for joy at the thought of trading him for a second round pick. Sorry u can see reality. If any team offered anything at all, he'd be gone already.
After his very first summer league game, I said he'd last 3 seasons then run a car dealership in Utah. He may last longer as a 12th man somewhere cause of his marketability, but even on the kings, he's the last guard on the bench. It was a horrible pick that they need to cut ties with one way or another.
