    Clearly a 3 to....you, perhaps. Scouts seem to differ on that, however. So if some see him as a PF, and others as a SF, sounds like he's a little of both, a little of neither. Regardless, we're not in position to get or need him. I'd prefer guy slike him I don't want or need go high,a dn play their way into the top, to push others we might want or need down further.

    Jimmer Fredette will almost match Adam Morrison's achievements in the NBA.

    I doubt he'll have half as many DNP-CD's, which is Adam's biggest achievement.

    You'd be making a big mistake if you did that.

    I wonder if the concerns are about his offense - or if this is a case of "who does he guard?"

    Fredette, although he didn't show it last night, has an NBA 3-point shot. Once Ammo coudn't generate his own offense, he didn't have a good 3 point shot to rely upon.

    Fredette, to me, has the potential to be a Steve Kerr-esque NBA shooter.

    Yeah, Irving hardly played this year, but the 3 games I watched Duke play with him in the NCAAs, he was the best player on the floor.

    He's going to be an All-Star level PG. Williams, I just don't see him being a Top 15-20 NBA player, as nice as he looks at UA.

    I can see that. People also overlook the fact that Fredette can put the ball on the floor as well though, he also is like Steph Curry in that he's great shooting off the dribble. I think he'll have a little more success at the pro level than people think when he's not the main focus of the defense.

    I don't think Wesley is too happy right now. 15-40 halftime score for his Marquette team vs UNC.

    But they are making it somewhat reasonable in the second half.
