The JIMMER!


I wouldn't say that I am slow to the party because I have know about him since he was a sophomore but I never realized how dominant he is. I chose the photo above because if you take note of where he is on the floor it is still within his shooting range!

I'd like to see how well he plays defense but his offensive game is just WOW! Trying to come up with a comparison is tough. He is too small to compare to guys who can play the small forward position but part of me wants to call him the best white shooter since Larry Bird(6'9"). I thought a fair comparison for him would be Chris Mullin but CM was 6'7". John Stockton(6'1") came to mind but Jimmer(6'2") is a scorer more than an assist guy. Maybe John Paxson? Feel like that isn't enough though. If you can come up with other white guys to compare him to list them in the comments, we can discuss it there. Tonight he went for 43 of his team's 71 as they beat SDSU by 13. By the way SDSU was 20-0 coming in.

He's fun to watch and he might be able to do for BYU what Steph Curry did for Davidson come tourney time. By the way, don't insult the Jimmer by saying Bryce Drew.
