He'd be okay on offense, but he's the single worst defender on BYU. All of their conference opponents attack Jimmer when on offense. He's terrible at defense. I'd be upset if that were the pick

But if we did draft him, no worries! Mike 'Antoni would teach him to play D.

man the fredettes should be saying, "nooooo!!!! anywhere but there!!!!"

how much of that is staying out of foul trouble as he's the leading scorer on the planet? Much like teams used to attack Amare (quite successfully). It seems like the few crunch times I have seen him he's a decent defender. During the meat of the game he stays away from contact.. thats for sure.

Thats not really me defending him, more an observation.

This would be a GREAT pick for the Knicks because Fredette can play right away and the Knicks need that. I like (for this team) Chris Singleton, Kenneth Faried, Keith Benson and Fredette for sure. I think Fredette could be a great role player spreading the floor for the bigger guns. The other guys I mentioned look like good defensive lunch pale type players

I don't think Fredette has a snowball's chance in hell to impact the game the same way Amar'e does. Fredette is a poor man's JJ Reddick. I don't think he's shown he can become the distributor that Stephen Curry did. I think he'll last as a role player in the NBA, but I'd rather the team look for players that can affect the game outside of three point shooting

So true. Besides, we would have a tiny backcourt, him and TD. Although, we could re-sign JJ and let him check the SG on the other team. Our Line-up is:

Fredette
JJ
Melo
Amar'e
Center TBD

Yeah right. Jared Jeffries at two guard is the answer.

Is Fredette 7' tall?

No?

I'll pass.

Nope. He wanted to be a first round pick.
