Rick Reilly's ESPN article

Did you guys catch Rick Reilly's take on The Jimmer over on ESPN.com (sorry I don't know how to post a hyprlink.



His opinion was less than glowing. All the classic knocks on Jimmer (slow, poor defense, no hops).



I tend to think that JImmer will have somewhere between a JJ Reddick and an Adam Morrison type NBA career. I've heard comparisons to John Paxson and Steve Kerr....I'd take that kind of career.



The problem with Reilly's article is that he makes it sound like his whole judgment of Jimmer is based on the Florida game from last night...which none of us are calling Jimmer's top performance of the year. Jimmer himself would probably put it close to the bottom.



I think that we can all agree that when your going 3 for 15 from behind the arc your stone cold and need to pass off to the hot hand, but nobody really seemed to be having a great night.

We had hot people, the refs forced them off the court with BS foul calls, kind hard to play good ball, when your best shooter is cold, and your best defender, and 2nd best shooter is on the bench.

You know a guy is really good when he scores 32 points on his "off-night"
