He doing great this preseason.

Tonight in win vs. Rockets



19 mins, 15 pts on 5-8 shooting (3-5 from three), 3 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 TO, 2 PF, and +10 in the +/-

And suddenly the pelicans decide to pull a Kings and reduce Jimmer's minutes. He got less than 10 tonight.

I saw that. It's unbelievable. I hope the Pelican HC doesn't go "Sybil" whack out on Jimmer.



Jimmer played 6 min and had 4 pts.

Starting PG Jrue Holiday played 27 min and had 6 pts.

Starting SG Eric Gordon played 20 min and had 3 pts.

The Pelicans didn't draft Austin Rivers #10 to have him lose out to a guy they are paying 1/3 the amount and got for nothing.



They're not the Sacramento Kings. They actually plan to use, play and build around their high draft picks.

I think it's a clear sign Jimmer's time is done. His minutes have gone steadily down through the preseason, and he's no longer being seriously looked at.



I hope you saved your money Jimmer.

The coaches have been very explicit from game one that Jimmer's touch on O was never in doubt, but if he wanted to be in the rotation, he has to earn it on D.

I agree that Jimmer will not get many minutes with pelicans. I can't believe they picked up Tyreke Evans who I believe is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. Right along with tyreke is Salmons who is just a joke. Both will get more minutes than Jimmer.



Jimmer, Welcome to Kings part II.

Got 17 minutes last night in a win over the Mavs. Didn't play particularly well, but got minutes.

If Jimmer hits 17 minutes a night that would be a huge win for him this year. (got about 17 tonight). Unfortunately, he's going to have to do better than going 0-6 from the field.

But they did win the game.

Williams only really played a 7 man rotation in the 2nd half trying to come back.

DNP'd in a loss to the Grizzlies :sulk:



Starting guards shot 11-31 (2-9 from 3), 5 turnovers to only 4 assists, 9 fouls...

And with that, Jimmer's DNPs start up again. What are the chances they start playing him again? I'm thinking not good.

Just a stroll down memory lane.

Jimmer has started getting minutes. He iced the game with two clutch free throws vs. Phoenix (21 minutes, 3-7 shooting, 9 points, 1 board, 4 assists) and he played even more last night in a close overtime loss vs. the Spurs (24 minutes, 5-8 shooting, 2-3 from three, 14 points, 3 boards).

Vs Houston, Jimmer played 21 minutes again and was 4/8 from the field, 1/4 from 3 and had 10 points 2 assists and a steal. Nice to see him getting time and contributing.
