Who lasts longer in the NBA: Jimmer or Kemba?

[CJF]

Khalid el-Amin. He was the short, fat PG for UConn when they won with Voshkul and Rip Hamilton.

Ok, I do remember Khalid. He was my inspiration. A short, fat, no hops pg. I really looked up to him.

IIRC, Beau Archibald was a RS frosh on that team, no? I didn't realize he got canned last year as a fall guy with another assistant when Calhoun got busted.

Jimmer

[SportUTE]

I meant comparing Jimmer's gaudy stats to Kemba's and concluding Jimmer superior doesn't make any sense. Ute logic = not agreeing with BYU homers. Guilty as charged.

Prior to the tourney BYU was RPI #5, Connecticut #14. Kemba was by far the most important player on the team. Only one other teammate averaged double figures in pts

UConn Road through the Big East (RPI):

Georgetown (13) / Pitt / (10) / Syracuse (19) / Louisville (17)

Through the NCAAs:

Cincinnatti (32) / SDSU (3) / Arizona (18) / Kentucky (6) / Butler (34)

Do any of you really think Jimmer and BYU could have beaten these teams sequentially? Do you think Jimmer could beat Walker's 25+ points average in that stretch?

Yes to that but obviously BYU does not win all those games...they didn't even beat Florida. I do think that if you switch places with Jimmer and Kemba that the results would be similar and that Jimmer would have been on the NCAA championship team.

To answer both questions yes, it was most definitely possible. If BYU had not suspended Davis and if Emery's or Abuo's shot was falling then that BYU team could have hung with and beaten anyone. When Jimmer was given space he could score on anyone at will, the only thing that kept him from doing that against Florida was the fact that his supporting cast couldn't support.

I don't think BYU could have won those games, but it's not because of Jimmer. It's because guys like Logan Magnuson were getting significant playing time. What you fail to grasp is that UConn's roster outside of Kemba Walker was much, much better than BYU's supporting cast outside of Jimmer.

BTW, I do think Jimmer could beat Walker's 25+ point average in that stretch. Look what he did against BYU's best opponents this year.

Florida- 32 points
Gonzaga- 34 points
SDSU part 3- 40 points
SDSU part 2- 25 points
UNLV part 2- 29 points
SDSU part 1- 43 points
UNLV part 1- 39 points
UCLA- 25 points
Arizona- 33 points

Jimmer would have matched Kemba's average easily. And he would have shot a higher percentage to boot.

I don't know how it will all play out, but I still hurt about Davies' HC incident. That game against SDSU in San Diego was the best BYU basketball team I have seen in my life and likely the best ever. I was sooooo amped for the rest of the season....

BYU was really peaking and putting it all together. Go all out on Jimmer and we kill you elsewhere, don't go all out on Jimmer and he kills you. It was still a great year but what could have been?

[Surfah]

Chad Forde just tweeted next week the Kings will have Kemba and Jimmer workout. Can't wait!

Those numbers are ridiculous.

[Goatnapper'96]

Those numbers are ridiculous.

Those two games against SDSU were beyond phenomenal. Further it was against a really good team.

[SportUTE]

Do either have the career of Andre Miller? Miller was #8 which is low for Kemba and high for Jimmer

I literally lol'd at that one. Nice one, Utah. If you did it for comedy, then nice job lol. If you are serious, then lol for different reason.
