Article talks about lack of "education" he is getting in Sac.



Go Jimmer!

Admittedly, I don't follow the NBA - not even the Jazz. But I have been peeking at the King's box scores this year. I had been wondering what happened to Jimmer. Seems he was getting some mega-minutes and then, all of a sudden, zilch for the last two games.

Jimmer was playing very well for the most part and had a few rough shooting games. I can promise you though that IT does not bring more to the table than Jimmer and it's not even close. It's almost comical to see what is blatantly taking place in Sac. Coach Idiot doesn't want to upset his boys by giving time to a white boy who sells tickets and outsells everyone else's jerseys. Just pathetic the petty thuggery going on out there.

Jimmer needs to be traded and this could be Sacremento's way of trying to get a better deal for him. I called it over a month ago that he'd see his playing time taken by Isaiah. He does not fit in at Sacremento.



I rarely watch an NBA game. The egos on the court distract from the game too much for me. Looks like Jimmer is another casualty of thugs' egos.

The MaGoof Brothers have a real mess on their hands. Draft the guy who as an owner they were slobbering over only to have him get punked by punk players and, if Mars is right, punked by a punk coach. Way to go Sac town. Way to squander your franchise.

If they'd play it right, they could have had millions of new fans. Instead, they squandered the opportunity. Broker a trade, Jimmer.

Miami or the Lakers could sure use a point guard....

I want Jimmer to succeed, but anywhere but those two teams :sick:

... Or so I thought just an hour ago, but the more I see how Jimmer's situation is, the more I don't really care where he goes so long as the coaching staff and teammates wont be a bunch of egotistical jerks (and for no good reason either. What have the Kings players accomplished recently? hoisting up more shot attempts than points scored?). Looking at the box score of tonight's game, I realized that I would've rather had the Kings lose than won, especially with Jimmer only getting 10 minutes this game while Isiah Thomas got over 25 minutes and played the entire 4th quarter. So hopefully Jimmer gets to escape Sacramento somehow, because I just can't see this changing for the better.

I would love for Jimmer to go somewhere where they really play team ball and he could help take the team from where they are to being contenders. Indiana could be a great fit.

Jimmer came into the game yesterday near the end of the 1st quarter and played 8 minutes, making 2-of-2 shots for 5 points, one assist, no turnovers. In the 9th minute he missed his first shot, making him 2-of-3. He came out at that point in the 2nd quarter and took a seat on the bench.



Isaiah Thomas had played 1 minute by then and was 0-for-1. He came in and quickly made that 1-for-5, but the coaches didn't take him out. He ended up playing 23 minutes and attempting 11 shots. He just has a much longer leash than Jimmer does right now.



Jimmer never came back into the game, and didn't play in the 2nd half.

How is Isaiah's defense? Two sides to the game.

Better, as is yours.



Isaiah is shorter, but much faster and quicker, which helps him get steals and get set in the proper position. He also rebounds better and dishes out more assists. I get why he is playing more. I don't understand Jimmer sitting out entire halves and whole games when he is shooting well off of the bench.

Look at the stretch where Jimmer was getting major minutes, the Kings were getting desrtroyed. Now that he is sitting on the bench they have won 3 in a row and lost the one before that by only 3. His defense is beyond terrible, anyone who says different is got some blue goggles on. His offense was coming along but he was getting DESTROYED on defense, especially the pick and roll.

Here is the full article from the local paper (The Sacramento Bee).

I attended the Kings recent OT win at home against the Warriors. It was BYU Alum night. A decent enough size crowd of BYU alums bought tickets, along with all the kids, anxious to see the Jimmer play. Alas, his total playtime during the entire game, including OT was . . . 0 minutes.



The abrupt head coaching change has not been a positive impact for the Jimmer and I would say time will tell whether the Kings as a team will be better off.

That's just not true. You are clearly not watching the games. Jimmer plays better D than IT does--true he does struggle on the pick and roll, but he is outplaying IT in every other way too. The difference? The team is not jealous of IT.

Patience is a virtue. Jimmer is a rookie in a shortened season without the typical preparation a rookie would get prior to his first season.

Jimmer is currently ranked 41st in 3point makes and 44th in 3pt%. His current streak (17 of 29 .568) would rank first.

Jimmer was the Kings' second leading scorer today in only 17 minutes of play. Stat line was downright impressive: 13 points on 5-8 (3-5 from 3 pt), 3 rebounds, 3 assists (2nd highest on the team), and 2 steals. Again, in the least minutes of anyone on the team, he had the most complete stat line. Smart is a joke.
