Ok he’s back.

I guess all those saying he’d never play in the league again are eating crow.

Yep. The internet critics got it wrong by saying he’d never play again. The NBA WAS watching Jimmer. Not saying he will do well this time, but he’s obviously got skills that intrigue the NBA to some degree. I’d definitely watch some Suns games to see what he does. His ceiling may be Seth Curry but hey, you can make many millions being close to that.

Everyone wants 3 point shooting now.

I think he needs to find the right team. JJ Redick is a good fit for Philly because they are so good defensively (led the league last year in having the lowest opponent's field goal pct). Another example is the 90's Bulls with Hodges/Paxson/Kerr/BJ Armstrong. They all functioned largely as spot-up shootings since the ball was usually in the hands of Pippen/Jordan.
