Where will Jimmer Freddette end up?
I see him between 7-12
Sacramento apparently fell in love with him during their workout w/ him
Detroit is a sleep team, wouldnt be surprised to see them pull the trigger on Jimmer
Charlotte is another sleeper team, Michael Jordan's still tryna get back to some lost respect from Kwame, Morrison
Milwaukee & GS are the only teams in that range I would say wont consider Jimmer at all
And if Jazz dont draft a PG at 3, Jimmer wont go past 12
Fredette had some really good workouts showing good speed, passing ability and better than expected defense. According to some scouts, they see Fredette to be able to hold his own in a half court defense system with his BBIQ, toughness and better than expected foot speed.
He also proved to be much faster and quicker than people expected during the NBA draft combine.
Originally, I was really skeptical on whether Fredette, but after reading all these reports, I think he can at least turn into a solid NBA player and may even turn into a one-to-two times all star.
I tend to believe that if Fredette felt he was falling out of the top 9 then he would not have turned down an invitation to workout in Milwaukee. That is imperfect logic, because every year guys think they are locked into a range and end up falling. Then again, there is smoke to the idea of him being taken by Sacramento.
If Jimmer lands in Sacto, I could see ROY. He's not going to have a ton of responsibility besides hitting open threes. Think he can do that, a lot? I do. Also, assist numbers could get gaudy passing in to Cousins and Reke. I don't think he's the top talent, a top 5 talent, or, really in all likelihood, a top ten talent, but he should excell at what he's asked to do while the other PGs have too much responsibility too soon, Derrick is trying to find a position, and the Euro bigs are adjusting to America. My pick is Williams for RoY, but Jimmer, this year anyway, has a shot.
I'm seeing his name rising on mock drafts, possibly as high as #7 to Sacramento. But still I think he'll get drafted somewhere between 12-15. Where do you think he'll go?
