He's already proven you wrong on that, at every level. Thats not even a legitimate argument.
The NBA excuse is defense.

Has he really proven anything? Not in the NBA he hasn't. He is a NBA career 41% shooter who has averaged almost as many turnovers as he has assists. He averaged .1 less fouls than rebounds we game.

He's just not cut out for the pace, the athleticism and yes, the defense of the NBA game.

That happens when you dont get consistent minutes. Jimmer scored 50pts for Shanghai today. And if he stays in China like Marbury did and becomes a Chinese Basketball legend then so be it...

Here is his best NBA game:




And then there is this years exhibition game Shanghai vs Houston, Jimmer had 33pts against the Rockets and had no issue getting his shot off inside or out despite being 6'2"

Dejounte Murray scored 24 vs the denver nuggets 4 days ago. a rookie with 22 games and 4 starts just tied jimmers best scoring outing. the 29th pick in the 2016 draft.

he scored 33 vs the ROCKETS, a mediocre defensive team in and EXHIBITION game.

can we please stop with the "jimmer could do something in the nba" talk? dude is never even going to make it back to the nba, no mater how much he scores in china.

I know I brought him up here, but Dejuan Blair once got in an argument with pop and the Spurs after the 2013 finals. Saying how the Spurs would have won that series of pop had played him. He was let go shortly after, and eventually ended up in china where he was great. Now he has made his way to the D-league.
He was just traded for a dleague 4th round pick!

But you know, guys who go to china and dominate are at the nba level for sure, so I'd bet hummer would be worth at least a dleague 2nd rounder.

We all know he can shoot. He always could. He can't keep up at the defensive end of the floor.

Geez! Isaiah Thomas was the last pick of that draft!?!?


If you redraft again in 2017, what's your top 5?? I'd probably go Kyrie, Isaiah, Kawhi Leonard, Klay & Jimmy Butler.
