The past couple of weeks, BYU shooting guard Jimmer Fredette has emerged as one of college basketballs top scorers. The first time I heard of Jimmer, I asked myself "what the hell is a Jimmer?" Well for those who don't know what a Jimmer is, a Jimmer is a 6'2 guard who gets buckets!!! Leading the nation in scoring at 27.4 pts a game. He is best known for his incredible shooting range. His game reminds me somewhat of Stephen Curry who is currently playing for the Golden State Warriors. When Curry was playing for Davidson, he averaged 28.9 pts his final season. According to analysts over at ESPN, they don't see Fredette having a lot of success in the NBA. The same things that they were saying about Curry, they are saying about Fredette as well. "No defense, cant run the point, won't handle the pressure of the NBA..." Hopefully Jimmer Fredette will prove all the nay-sayers wrong just like Stephen Curry is currently trying to do.
