Hoopsworld on Jimmer in NBA

"With Jimmer, he had to be the scorer," Blake said, when asked why Fredette isn't known as a passer. "Obviously he has NBA range. He had to get his own shot in school, though. He was able to score. He was able to pas the ball extremely well when he had to."

Fredette Isn't Gerry McNamara

"The knock on Jimmer was defense," Blake continued. "He didn't fight through screens. He came under the hedge and tried to not get into foul trouble, and that's what he was told to do because he had to be the man there. I think he' a guy that's strong and he works at it. Really competitive, you can't really look into a guy's heart and know what their drive is, but he is one of those guys that can do it. He just gives off that feeling."

These comments are from NBA scouting director Ryan Blake, by the way.

Like the director of NBA Scouting would know anything about scouting potential players for the NBA. He obviously hasn't read Rick Reilly or listened to Colin Cowherd.
