Side note I dont have to "dig up" things about jimmer. If I really wanted to post every bad article about jimmer i'd be starting a new thread every couple hours...
the Jimmer profile was funny... thats right it was funny. John hollinger used things like

" Phenomenally bad defensive player" .

"Fredette came in billed as a shooting specialist and shot 36.1 percent on 3s and 36.3 percent on long 2s. That's a problem."

"He was beyond hopeless on defense"

"flammable"

"inability to defend anything even remotely ambulatory"

no one thinks that was funny??? wow

Ok for all the cry babies that still cant handle either humor or anything negative about jimmer.

Scouting report
+ Overpowering big man with great footwork. Outstanding rebounder.
+ Struggles with pace of game. Conditioning an issue. Willingly takes charges.
+ Low-percentage offensive player. Takes bad chances with passes, shots.

Analysis
Well, he's getting there. Cousins led all centers in points per 40 minutes and was seventh in the NBA in rebound rate, as he simply overwhelmed some opponents physically. This can best be seen in the hordes of fouls he drew -- 7.4 per 40 minutes, the third most in the NBA.

Cousins' conditioning improved, and he dealt with spots of fatigue better, despite a less-than-optimal substitution pattern that saw him at times play 15 straight minutes of each half before coming out. Cousins had the best assist quality of any big man -- when his passes worked, teammates got layups and dunks -- and cut his turnover ratio significantly from a year earlier.

well nothing new there... definitely not very funny...

Cousins had the best assist quality of any big man -- when his passes worked, teammates got layups and dunks -- and cut his turnover ratio significantly from a year earlier.

That said, plenty of rough edges remain. Cousins makes poor decisions all over the place and was a low-percentage scorer from every spot on the court. Even in the immediate basket area, he converted only 56.7 percent, a very low rate for a big. He is a half-decent midrange range shooter (38.9 percent) but indulges this shot far too often.

His low-post game remains raw too. Cousins still stops the ball on every catch and doesn't convert enough to justify it. He made only 30 percent of shots from 3 to 9 feet, on the heels of a 30.4 percent mark as a rookie, but keeps firing, dragging down his shooting percentage. And despite his overpowering physicality, he didn't get to the line with abnormal frequency.

Defensively, it's a similar story. He led the league in offensive fouls drawn (although not per minute) and offered physical post defense. However, he was beaten routinely in transition. Often it's not for lack of hustle; he just labors up and down the court.

In the half court, his high rate of steals and propensity for fouls go hand in hand. He doesn't move his feet on defense and just reaches instead, constantly picking up cheap touch fouls as a result. While he cut the fouls last season, he still commits enough to limit his minutes.

well nothing new there... definitely not very funny...

You need to perfect your art of Jimmer bashing... there is a way to do it without everyone getting all crazy about it. If I were you I would have made one giant post with a tid bit about each player. That way you can get everyone to clearly read the negative comments towards jimmer but still looking somewhat objective. Everyone is going to make up there own mind, they don't need you to do that for them.

sactown, I closed the other thread not only because of the personal sniping, but also because we just can't simply lift whole articles/ article sections from pay sites.
