Jimmer is back in the NBA -- Phoenix Suns

Jimmer just signed a 2 year deal with the Suns (only guaranteed through the rest of this season though, team option in year 2).



Phoenix plays the Jazz in SLC next week!

Anyone know if this makes him ineligible for TBT in SLC this summer?

Cross my fingers he turns some heads.



He's going to have to play out of his mind if he wants a shot at the Sun's keeping him next season.



I can see the Suns signing him to two years, they get a new PG in the summer and then letting him go. If that happens, hopefully he'll have played well enough to turn a head or two on another team.



He's 30. So, he's going to have to play hard.

He's going to need the ball in his hands. No one has consistently given him the chance to do that.

Suns just might.

What do they have to lose?

That's what I was thinking, They are already in last place in the Western Conference - why not bring in someone that people might show up to see on a game by game basis?

I hope this isn't similar to Kyle Collinsworth's time in Dallas. Where Phoenix has no commitment to Jimmer. They'll use him to sell some tickets and he rarely gets off the bench. And any production he does have is irrelevant to their decisions in retaining him.

Anyone watching the game tonight? Will Jimmer play?

Haven't been able to see it.



Stat line says he got 4 min and 2 rebounds.



He isn't going to get any minutes.

That was in the first quarter he was 0-1 from 3. So he did not play the rest of the game.

Disappointing move by Suns mgmt to not play him more.

Jimmer is also in a bad spot. He's on a bad team. And he just joined them. How many practices has he had? Two? Three? How are you supposed to learn defensive and offensive schemes in a weekend? And you've joined a team that has the 2nd worst defensive rating in the league you're not know for your defense. So should anyone be surprised a poor defender on a poor defensive team looks poor on defense?



He's almost in a lose-lose situation.

Doesn't help he's on a team with a guy that expects to shoot every time he touches the ball (50pt booker).



minutes quickly dropped to zero. Back to china?

Back to China.



He went 1 for 11.
