JIMMER

Jimmer.

That is the only word you have to say and anybody who has any knowledge of college basketball or has watched any of the NCAA tournament knows who you are talking about. He is the real deal. After watching him for the first time a couple of months ago I said he is hands down POY. Sorry Kemba and Jared Sullinger, you guys are great, but you're no Jimmer. Regardless of whether his team makes it to the elite eight, final four or the final game he deserves that distinction. 

The current question facing Jimmer Fredette is how far he will take his team in the NCAA tournament? But the real question in the back of everyone's mind is can he make it at the next level? At 6'2'' and not even 200 pounds he does not have the ideal NBA body. But think about two current great PGs, Steve Nash and Derrick Rose: Jimmer has got almost 20 pounds on Nash and almost identical numbers to Rose. So, people, don't even go there with the body type.

Another question people have: will he be able to do his thing in the NBA against the length and quickness of the defenders? Don't make me laugh! Jimmer is a scorer and he knows how to get the ball in the basket. The NBA is not about defense. It is about scoring. The more ostentatious, the better. Fans are enthralled with the scorer. Especially the straight-from-high-school types in Kobe, Dwight, LeBron, Amare and even the one-and-done Melo.

Jimmer has much experience at the collegiate level which will help him at the professional level. If you have heard any of the drills that his brother had him do when he was younger or the fact that he played basketball with prison inmates then you know he is passionate and has a great work ethic. So let's just hope that he goes straight to the NBA and doesn't go on a mission become attached to his bike for the next two years.

(And I am totally admitting to jumping on the Jimmer band-wagon this year)
