yeah he was everywhere.. and he has a sweet shot

he rushed a few, but even when he rushes shots they go in half the time.

Also it seems like he's the only player on the court. He alone makes BYU a good basketball team.

I was impressed by his passing too, I wonder what his role will be in the NBA.

Jimmer seems like the Tim Tebow of college basketball

Tebow actually won something in college. Although, the comparison might be solid. Tebow spent much of his time last season carrying luggage, waving a towel and high fiving guys as they came off the field.

I will imagine carrying luggage, waiving a towel and high fiving the players as they come off the floor.

You don't seriously think he will have a significant role in the NBA do you?

He is a really nice college player, but in the pros, he will be too slow to guard a point and too small to guard a wing.

practice dummy

His role in the NBA will be to go play in Turkey or something. 93 percent of the crap he gets away with at BYU won't work in the league.

A nice college player....might stick around in the NBA with the right team, we've seen a lot of this type player in the last few years, coming of the bench to hopefully add a little offense would be his best case future it would seem. Might average 6-8 pts a game with right squad.

Hansbrough, Blair, Redick as examples. Excellent college players but skill set somewhat limited for NBA. Hansbrough has been playing lights out recently with increased playing time, Blair has developed into a solid reserve and Redick adds scoring off the Orlando bench. Players who make up for lack of NBA skill set with hustle and desire.

Hold on there. Blair and Reddick don't have NBA skill sets? What?
Blair is an excellent low post scorer and rebounder. Reddick is has great range and is a solid defender. The idea that they are only in the NBA because of "hustle and desire" is complete bullshit.

TH is averaging 10 and 5 but isnt really good enough to play more than he does.

The knock on all three has been exactly that, not my determination, I love all three for their desire and hustle. When Reddick first came into the league, he was dismissed as a spot up shooter lacking in defense and ability to get his own shot. Through hard work he has greatly improved in both areas. Blair was seen as too small for underneath and every scout questioned his knees, SA, to their credit took a chance and have been nicely rewarded. TH is showing promise with increased playing time....the point is that often big time college players find their skill set does not translate into NBA stardom. Those who do make it do so with great work ethic and desire, hopefully this kid can do the same!

Learn to post your opinion without putting others down, afterall it's only your opinion. Failure to do so makes you appear narrow-minded!
