\"\"

I remember the first time\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0Fredette\u00a0came out of college. It was back in 2006. He was fresh off of becoming the highest scoring player in the history of the ACC.<\/h2>\n

He wasn\u2019t a great ball handler and the only way for him to make an impact in a game was by shooting; scoring was his most notable attribute, but other than that he was pretty limited and lacked the ability to create his own shot.<\/p>\n

He was a liability on defense, wasn\u2019t a great passer and contributed almost nothing in the way of rebounding.<\/p>\n

He was drafted\u00a011th<\/sup>\u00a0overall and it took him five years to average double figures for an entire season, mainly because of a lack of minutes.<\/p>\n

And why was the\u00a011th<\/sup>\u00a0overall pick having trouble getting minutes? Because in a league where every guy on the court can score if they get enough shots, nothing he did was special.<\/p>\n

Especially when in his first couple years, his shots weren\u2019t falling like they were at Duke. Then what do you do with a guy like that other than overpay him? You sit him on the bench and only use him in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

Jimmer\u00a0Fredette\u00a0is\u00a0JJ\u00a0Redick\u00a0Part\u00a0deux.<\/h2>\n

All the signs are there, from the lack of marketable skills to the arrogance. Looking at their career college stats, I can\u2019t be the only one who has figured this out already, can I? Surely some pro scout has noticed this, from the obvious facts I\u2019ve already mentioned down to the averages per year in college.<\/p>\n

Redick\u00a0averaged 15\u00a0ppg\u00a0year one,\u00a0Fredette\u00a07\u00a0ppg.<\/p>\n

Year two\u00a0Redick\u00a015.1,\u00a0Fredette\u00a016.2<\/a>. Year three\u00a0Redick\u00a021.8,\u00a0Fredette\u00a022.1. Year four\u00a0Redick\u00a026.8,\u00a0Fredette\u00a028.9.<\/p>\n

Career rebounding averages?\u00a0Redick\u00a02.7,\u00a0Fredette\u00a02.6\u00a0rpg.<\/p>\n

Career assist averages, you ask?\u00a0Redick\u00a02.2,\u00a0Fredette\u00a03.7. Worse collegiate haircut?\u00a0Fredette\u00a0by a mile.<\/p>\n

Now ask yourself this; who faced better competition in college,\u00a0Redick\u00a0at Duke or\u00a0Fredette\u00a0at BYU?<\/h2>\n

I think we both know the answer to that don\u2019t we? So if anything, his college numbers were inflated compared to\u00a0Redick.<\/p>\n

Imagine the career numbers if\u00a0Redick\u00a0played against\u00a0Fredette\u2019s\u00a0competition; he wouldn\u2019t just be the ACC\u2019s all-time leading scorer at his time of graduation, he\u2019d be the all-time leading scorer in the UNIVERSE.<\/p>\n

Hmmm..I wonder what kind of pro\u00a0Fredette\u00a0will be.<\/p>\n

So when\u00a0Fredette\u2019s\u00a0draft stock slips a week from now and he\u2019s drafted closer to the beginning of the second round rather than closer to the beginning of the first, remember this article.<\/h2>\n

If an idiot like me can figure this out, all 30+ NBA teams<\/a> have as well. Except maybe the Clippers or Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

Anyone else telling you anything different is blowing smoke.<\/p>\n

EPILOGUE – Jimmer Frredette<\/h2>\n

Back in June I wrote everything above this sentence about everyone\u2019s favorite collegiate gunner and three point threat Jimmer Fredette.<\/p>\n

At the time, everyone with internet access was filling up message boards talking about how \u201cgreat\u201d\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0would be, about his \u201ccan\u2019t miss\u201d skills and how they would immediately transfer to the hardwood of the NBA.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>But I didn\u2019t believe it. So I wrote an article detailing why I thought he would be a bust at the NBA level and further, that if he was lucky, he would have the type of pro career JJ Redick carved out for himself.<\/p>\n

And the hate streamed in almost\u00a0immediately<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I was called an \u201cidiot\u201d, and a \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as being told I \u201cmust\u2019ve never seen Jimmer play\u201d, because to compare him to Redick was the ultimate travesty.<\/p>\n

But now, after almost a quarter of the season, it\u2019s fair to say that not only was I right, but that\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0won\u2019t even be as productive as\u00a0Redick\u00a0was in his rookie season.<\/h2>\n

After 15 games on a bad Kings team,\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0has started three games.<\/p>\n

But I thought he was \u201ca starter in the NBA\u201d because \u201cno one could stay in front of him at the pre-draft workouts, not even\u00a0Kemba\u00a0Walker\u201d?<\/p>\n

Based on the comments, at the time, I apparently underestimated\u00a0Jimmer\u2019s\u00a0overall game as a scorer, not just a shooter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy lives in the key and at the rim. Jimmer\u2019s game is nothing like JJ Redick\u2019s. Jimmer gets to the rim and draws contact whenever he wants. Ridiculous take.\u201d<\/p>\n

He can\u2019t get to the basket anymore because why? Everyone in the NBA is quicker and stronger than he is.<\/p>\n

So all he can do is sit outside and force shots, as his 33% field goal percentage would indicate.<\/p>\n

Oh wait but he isn\u2019t just a \u201cthree\u00a0point shooter<\/a>\u00a0like Redick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uh yeah, he sure isn\u2019t<\/em>; shooting 27% from deep shows he\u2019s not even in\u00a0Redick\u2019s\u00a0league as far as accuracy.<\/p>\n

Since everyone loved my statistical comparisons in my first article, here are some stats of interest from\u00a0Redick\u2019s\u00a0rookie year compared to\u00a0Jimmer\u2019s:<\/h2>\n

\u2013 In 14.8 mpg and 4.6\u00a0FGA\u00a0per game,\u00a0Redick\u00a0scored 6.0\u00a0ppg. In 22 mpg and 8.0\u00a0FGA\u00a0per game,\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0is scoring 7.1\u00a0ppg.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u00a0Redick\u00a0shot 38% on threes;\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0is 11% lower at a measly 27%.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u00a0Redick\u2019s\u00a0FG% was 41%,\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0is shooting just 33% from the floor.<\/p>\n

\u2013 You guys were right about one thing- he\u2019s better than\u00a0Redick\u00a0on FT%, 92% to 90%<\/p>\n

My personal favorite comment from the first article though: \u201cIf Steve Nash can make it in the league while being a defensive liability, then so can\u00a0Jimmer!\u201d<\/h2>\n

LOL!!! Oh yeah, that reminds me:\u00a0Fredette\u00a0is a complete defensive liability<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Another favorite: \u00a0\u201cMark my words,\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0will leave a legacy when it\u2019s all said and done.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d have no problem writing the exact opposite article and \u201ceating crow\u201d if things\u00a0were<\/i>\u00a0the opposite and\u00a0Jimmer\u00a0was as good as he was hyped to be. But he\u2019s not. And he won\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

So, hold \u201cthe crow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
