    Fredette, the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, will be a free agent should he clear NBA waivers.

    The Kings tried to move Fredette before Thursday's trade deadline, but were unable to find a destination for him. Fredette had been one of college basketball's most prolific scorers at BYU – scoring 2,599 points in his career – and earning consensus honors as college basketball's player of the year in 2011.

    Nevertheless, he has struggled to find his niche with the Kings. Still, there are expected to be several teams with interest in signing him for the rest of the season, league sources said.

    Fredette, 25, has averaged 5.9 points per game for the Kings this season – and seven in his three-year NBA career.

    Before the season, the Kings passed on picking up the 2014-15 option on Fredette's contract, almost assuring that he'd be elsewhere next season.

    Jimmer might be the only player out there who could make our defense worse...

    I see him fitting perfectly with NY. A lot like LA resurrecting Kendall Marshall. Could see a repeat of Linsanity

    I think that we have enough outside shooting at this time. What I believe we really need is someone who can play perimeter defense as well as a shot blocker down low who can give you 10 points a game to keep the defense honest on the outside.
