    Do you guys think Jimmer may be the next Jeremy Lin - a guy who was unappreciated at first, and then emerges as a star?

      Like he did @ BYU? Dunno. He is doing rather well for playing on a dumpster fire of a team, however. I sure wish Jimmer got picked up by the Knicks, Suns, Jazz... basically ANYONE else.

        Frustrating watching Jimmer play 2 guard and not the point.

          Good game by Jimmer. 10 points on the night. Nba.com has his stats wrong. They have 8 points. But jimmer was 3-4 from the foul line, hit a nice midrange jumper going left and made 2 threes.

            They took away his 2nd trey. They called it a shot clock violation.

              Shouldn't that be 11?

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  Looks like Jimmer lost a three on a shot clock violation and they gave him a turnover.

                    Yep. Its like he is already being branding as strictly a 3 point specialist.

                      Part of the problem is that Sacramento already has two guys playing the point position. Then you add in IT and Jimmer. If Jimmer is going to get minutes on this team, he'll have to play the 2 guard.

                      Let's face it Jimmer ended up in the absolutely worst place. I still can't figure out why the Kings drafted Jimmer.

                        Jimmer may be in trouble.

                        Isaiah Thomas gets the start tonight. Through one quarter, he has 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

                          Jimmer averaged just over 4 assists per game in his last 2 years at BYU. Recognizing that he wasn't really asked to be a playmaker in college,do you guys think he can be one in the NBA? Maybe he's a natural 2.

                            4 assists in college is indicative of an above average playmaker. You can't compare college assist numbers to pro assist numbers

                              Fair enough. I was just speculating about why the Kings might be thinking of him as a 2.
