So maybe in the end, it comes downs to FIT with the TEAM
With the defensive players that could help and cover for you and recover with length/mobility/athleticism

i actually though Jimmer was ahead of Redick when they both entered the league as rookies

Felton and priggy also find themselves open a lot playing with Melo. Jimmer would be a deadly player out there for us.

It's definitely a game of style of play. Jimmer could fit here, but would Woodson play him?

absolutely. i know you watch as much college ball as i do bro.. we could use a kid like this, yes, he's been awful for the kings, but watching him in college, if used right and given the opportunity i think he could be a good player. he CAN create his own shot (no matter what anyone says), can shoot lights out and play a little pg. yes, his defense is going to suck, but ill live with it if he spreads the floor and produces offensively.

He too was short, slow and white. On a team that knows its roles like Sas and Bulls he played an important role.

We need role players like Novak who were a deep threat and kept defense honest. If JImmer can fill that role at the guard and our coach has a need for that spot then its a good idea.

We got lots of guys who can create their own shot. Thats not our problem.

Looking at his numbers Jimmer doesn't get that much playing time but his usg is very high. I would worry about how he would do with a lot of minutes because his iffense is not great enough to take away from his poor D. He is playing with some great talent and a good post passer in Cousins already so its not like much will change for him.

In the off eseason I would suggest that they need to sign Scottie Wilbekin(UF) as a UFA. He is an elite defender that can shoot the 3 off the dribble and as a spot up shooter. I think he is Patrick Beverly clone. He needs some seasoning but I think he will excell in a more free system but Donavan's system is heavy PnR. Actually if I wasn't a UF fan I think he is a coach that should be sought after. Orlando almost had him but thankfully he had a change of heart.

Shumpert is no NBA starter. By using Fredette in a 20 minute role--it can help space the floor better and allow us to play bigger inside. Shumpert is a guy who has lost his way here. I also disagree i.e roll players--if nothing we need to use role players. Jimmer is a great 3 point shooter can handle dish drive and hes not that much different from Pablo on D--with Melo--Jummier would avg 10 points a game in 20 minutes and his eFG would be off the charts here--he is a potential 50% 3 pt shooter.

This would not be a big trde--this is a change of scenery--I have seen us play well--I think subtle changed should be tried--like trading Shumpert for a Jimmer committing to playing Tyler 20+ minutes at PF. We may have to wait and address PG aftre the season---we can look at who is bought out for as well.
