Well first, Jimmer was the only one that was actually trying to run the offense, and I guess Smart liked what he was doing. He was also being effective with his scoring ability. Secondly, Smart has a tendecy to ride a horse thats leading till it drops dead. Going back to last year, many times when he had a unit on the floor that was effective, he had a tendecy to forget about Cousins or JT etc. and ride that group way too long. He's already done it this year. I suspect thats what happened with Jimmer in the 4th quarter. Sort of a, if it ain't broke, don't fix it attitude.
As I said, its just one game, and for one game it worked. He got the win. I also suspect that the Kings, unlike some of the fans, haven't given up on Jimmer as a future PG for the team. So, he has to get experience where and when he can, and when he happens to play well, which he's done lately, they're likely to stick with him for longer periods of time. Look, I don't care if he plays 5 minutes or 20 minutes as long as it adds up to wins. And I don't care whose minutes he steals as long as he's effective.
In the end, its not up to us to decide how good he can be, or what his total potential is. Its up to him to make us believers.
no one likes losing lol
