What’s wrong with being the next Adam Morrison? Dude has 2 championships, 2 rings… Lebron has none. Fredette could do a lot worse than being the “next Adam Morrison!”

How about he is the next James “Jimmer” Fredette!? Jeez! I absolutly loved watching him play and I hope he turns out to be the surprize ROY. I hope he proves everyone wrong and has a great career. At the very least he’ll be a better JJ Reddick.

Morrison was a skinny SF who lacked agility, strength, and athleticism to play the position. Fredette has speed, strength, and creative playmaking ability. You put Fredette on New York, Utah, or Phoenix and the kid will thrive.

For Jimmers stats I see 8 wives, 47 children, 1 compound in utah, and a 10 million utah jazz jerseys sold with the name Fredette on the back of it.

Everybody wins

In a draft so watered down, would it be that much of a risk taking him anyway? The potential payoff is huge. The kid is a fearless winner, a hard worker with a good attitude, with a high basketball IQ. He will adapt and expand his game. I would not pass up on Fredette. I think he’s gonna be a solid pro.

My Sixers could use a guy capable of hitting a clutch shot…

I agree. The NY Knicks are hoping and praying everyone will be dumb enough to let him slip down to them. They vision him as a young Steve Nash, they can pair with Carmelo and Amare. He can shoot from anywhere on the floor. And he can be taught defense. he wouldn’t even need it in NY because they don’t play any D in D’Antoni’s system.

I hope this kid finds his way to Utah. It is a natural fit. I like him! And Fredette to Favors could become the new Stockton to Malone over time. Don’t out think yourselves here Jazz. This kid will be a great NBA player in your system with Al Jefferson, Milsap, Derrick Favors and the Heyward kid from Butler. That team could be seriously dangerous in 2 years if left to develop chemistry together.

This kid is a fearless baller and will easily acclimate himself to the NBA. Conventional wisdom might translate his game to a Kyle Korver type player but due to his knack for viciously taking games over I can’t help but feel like he could be a special player in the league. His situation approaching the pros reminds me of Tebow’s…both guys are fiery competitors and winners, yet their pro potential continues to be questioned.
