Jimmer Fredette

[VF21]

Any questions?












And please, show some respect for what he did tonight. Without him, we lose. It's that freaking simple. Jimmer fans? Tonight your guy pretty much did everything this Kings fan could have asked of him.

 

[Nikolizzle]

Maybe give him the starting SG spot next game, see how he handles it?

A great shooting performance by the second-favorite son of Glens Falls, NY.

Which begs the obvious question I'm not going to ask...

No, he is a point gaurd, he should play about 15 a game at the point.

 

[Toasty]

Don't we already have a jimmer thread.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Awesome!! Hacksaw Jim Duggan was one of my faves back in the day. What a blast from the past.

Oh...before Hacksaw hijacks the thread...great shooting Jimmer. Get that swag back son.

 

[VF21]

Don't we already have a jimmer thread.

What's your point? I start the thread for whomever I think deserves it. It's pretty clear what it's gonna be about from the title. If you don't like it, you can always choose to skip over it.

Jimmer did EXTREMELY well tonight. He earned the VF21 "Any Questions" thread...and he got it.

 

[treach1976]

I think he probably earned himself another B+ tonight!

Our next game is against Golden State.

Klay Thompson & Andre Igoudala =/= Iman Shumpert & Tim Hardaway Jr.

This, plus also, we don't need more guys wanting shots in the starting lineup. If he can come in as the bench gunner and be half as productive as he was tonight, that's still pretty darn good.

Still, he needs a change of scenery and the Kings need to get assets back from his deal. This game should get PDA some returned calls before the deadline.

I wouldn't put him at sg. It has more to do than just being too short. Jimmer is a scorer with a decent BBIQ. Put him on the court with IT, Cuz, and Rudy and there aren't enough shots to go around. It would make a bad situation worse.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Would have had NO chance to win this game down the stretch if it weren't for Jimmers hot shooting

Back to the point of the thread:

JIMMER!

I am glad to see Jimmer is putting it together, I have for sometime thought he was better suited for the 2, but recently I am rethinking that. The kid seems to be playing both the 1& the 2 pretty well and versatility is a very useful thing indeed.

He is moving more toward where a Jason Terry/Jerryd Bayless comparison isn't too far out there. I still think he's a bad fit on the Kings and I don't see the pieces to change that yet, but kudos to the kid for the very good game tonight and the general improvements.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Maybe Jimmer is the new IT off the bench sparkplug. He's a combo but so is IT - it's role Jimmer can fit into nicely off the bench. Plus, when Kings at full strength it gives DWill hand with offense which he seems to struggle sometimes handling if it's mostly all on him with second unit. Defense will always be issue with Jimmer but it may not be much worse or about same as what IT gives on that end of the floor. And as was pointed out by Jerry on telecast in almost gushing compliment, "Jimmer really sees the floor well." Never heard Jerry or Grant say that about our "starting PG." Well, Jimmer is about 5 inches taller than IT and actually does look to pass to open team mates getting ball to them where they like it - as DWill certainly knows.

Somehow I see Jimmer in middle isle of long plane flight back home tonight hitting those dance moves while his teammates turn up the music cheering it all on

DeMarcus wanted nothing to do with the Jimmer dance off

 

[PurpleHaze]

I don't know if anyone has said it yet. But imagine if Big Cuz had made All Star team and then this! I'm sure he still would have loved the honor even if couldn't have played in New Orleans. Get well soon boogiecousins.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Talk about a heat check. Just walk up and pull up from about 29 feet out...straight down the throat. That was awesome!

 

[t-rex]

@Aykis16: Just realized that since the Kings next play Wednesday, and trade deadline is Thursday, that might've been Jimmer's last game as a King.

I hope not.

And that's what the Jimmer fans have been wanting to see. I'm glad for them and I'm glad for us. And I'm really glad for Jimmer.

 

[upinsmoke]

Jimmer had a Game tonight hats off to him. show some more of that and Coach Malone will give PDA the nod of approval when he asks.

probably, hopefully, multiple players last game in Kings uniforms. we'll see

 

[ESP47]

Hacksaw Jimmer Duggan!

 

[Sluggah]

I like this Jimmer.

I don't know about that Hacksaw thing though. Kill it with fire.
