Jimmer to Pelicans

[SpiffCoug]

Well he has another year in the NBA. This will be break or make year.

I understand he's signed for another year. It won't make a difference.

It will only make a difference if he's given an opportunity to actually play. But I'm not sure he'll get that in NO.

Jimmer signed on with a very poor agent.

Not sure his agent could have done much better. Jimmer is a middle of the road white dude who is fighting a perception of "no defense and not athletic enough". Jimmer may have lost his shot at the NBA when he isaiah thomas burst onto the scene in sac-town and Jimmer, for the most part, rode the pine.

Jimmer has the green light.

Now just to get some minutes to go along with that green light...

I hope it's true - that Jimmer will finally be given a chance - hopefully.

I think what's even more encouraging is that he got 30 minutes, no fouls, and was positive in his assist-turnover ratio. Keep it up, Jimmer, we believe in you!

vs. Washington: 20 mins, 50% shooting, 13 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 TO, 3 fouls.

Leads the team in shooting percentage and scoring average through 3 games.

All Jimmer has to do to get 12 to 16 minutes a night is beat out Rivers. He'll beat out Rivers.

The coach in New Orleans has to win this year or he's gone. Especially given Anthony Davis's development and dominance during the World Cup.

Not too shabby for a DNP benchwarmer.
